Scientific paper

We present the results of a Jupiter Trojans lightcurve survey aimed at characterizing the rotational properties of Trojans in the approximate size range 60 - 150 km. The survey, which was designed to provide reliable and unbiased estimates of rotation periods and amplitudes, resulted in well-sampled lightcurves for 80 objects, 56 of which represent new determinations, and 9 of which supersede previously published erroneous values. Our results more than double the existing data base of rotational properties of Jovian Trojans in the observed size range.
