Determination of 1929 Asteroid Rotation Periods from WISE Data

Determination of 1929 Asteroid Rotation Periods from WISE Data

We used 22 μ m (W4) Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) observations of 4420 asteroids to analyze lightcurves, and determined spin period estimates for 1929 asteroids. We fit second-order Fourier models at a large number of trial frequencies to the W4 data and analyzed the resulting periodogr...
