Light curve analysis of main belt asteroids 4747, 5255, 11411, 15433, 17866

Abstract

The main belt asteroids 4747, 5255, 11411, 15433, and 17866 were studied at the Baldone Astrophysical Observatory in the time span range 2018–2022. The obtained light curve data together with published Minor Planet Center data are analyzed with Fourier series, Lomb-Scargle periodogram, and phase dispersion minimization methods. A plan of analysis is given. The results computed from different observatories’ data are compared, and mean-weighted periods are obtained.
