Photometric observations of the asteroid 3200 Phaethon using small and middle telescopes [EPA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1906.01064


The main aim of photometrical observations of the asteroid 3200 Phaethon was searching for its low-level cometary activity (possible coma and/or dust tail) in the pre-perihelion passage. We performed observational runs with telescopes ranging from 0.61-m to 2-m and BVR color imaging. Three longer photometric series were used for modeling of the 3D shape of Phaethon. The color indices and size of the asteroid were estimated.
