Observations of asteroid magnitude-phase relations at the Kharadze Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory

TL;DR

This study reports photometric observations of five main-belt asteroids, focusing on their magnitude-phase relations and physical characteristics, with preliminary results for asteroid (1390) Abastumani.

Contribution

First observational data on asteroid magnitude-phase relations from the Kharadze Abastumani Observatory in collaboration with Kharkiv University.

Findings

Preliminary magnitude-phase relation for asteroid (1390) Abastumani.

Data contributes to understanding asteroid physical properties.

Collaborative observational approach implemented.

Abstract

In frame of an implementation of the cooperative program studying of asteroids between the Kharadze Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory and the Astronomical Institute of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University the observations for five main-belt asteroids were performed to obtain their magnitude-phase relations and other physical characteristics. Preliminary results of the photometrical observations for the large dark asteroid (1390) Abastumani are presented.
