TL;DR
This paper presents the first lightcurve analysis of asteroids 18301 Konyukhov and 2022 West, determining their rotation periods and amplitudes through photometric observations at a Mexican observatory.
Contribution
It provides the first reported lightcurve for asteroid 18301 Konyukhov and detailed rotational data for 2022 West, expanding knowledge of these main-belt asteroids.
Findings
Konyukhov rotation period: 2.6667 hours.
West rotation period: 14.1385 hours.
Measured amplitudes: 0.16 and 0.54 magnitudes.
Abstract
We report photometric analysis of two main-belt asteroids observed at the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional in the Sierra San Pedro Martir, Baja California, M\'exico. For 18301 Konyukhov our derived intrinsic rotation period is 2.6667 0.0003 h with an amplitude of 0.16 magnitudes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first lightcurve reported for this asteroid. In the case of 2022 West our derived intrinsic rotation period is 14.1385 0.0031 h with an amplitude of 0.54 magnitudes.
