The spin properties of the Jovian Trojan asteroids have not been extensively studied due to their distance from the Sun and their low albedos. We present a progress report on a program to determine well-sampled light curves for the Jovian Trojans. Rotation data will be presented for 884 Priamus, 4489 88AK, and 4834 Thoas.
Data were obtained in October 2009 and July 2010 using the SMARTS 1.0-meter and 0.9-meter telescopes, respectively, at Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory near La Serena, Chile. Images were processed and measured with IRAF, and periods determined using the Canopus software package.
This research was supported by Cottrell College Science Award grants from the Research Corporation (LMF and DAR; SML) and support from the Lunar and Planetary Institute (SML).
