Scientific paper

Partial light curves acquired from differential photometry analysis of various taxonomic C-type asteroids provide data useful for examining inherent characteristics of each asteroid. The data result in rotational period values consistent with previous values published at the Minor Planets Center website. All observations represent asteroids that have been scarcely observed and are in need of additional observations. Analysis of 334 Chicago provides a nearly complete light curve representing qualities of the asteroid for a small phase angle. The procedure for observing 334 Chicago also results in a good way to match up differential photometric values over consistent nights of observation. The results should be combined with spectroscopic data to determine water of hydration of each asteroid and how photometric values may vary over phase angle, temporal position of periodic rotation and evolution of the main belt asteroids. The data was collected at the SARA 0.9 m telescope at KPNO during the nights of January 5-6, 2005 and June 15-18, 2006. The research was funded by a partnership between the National Science Foundation (NSF AST-0552798) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and the Department of Defense (DoD) ASSURE (Awards to Stimulate and Support Undergraduate Research Experiences) programs.
