Minor planets and related objects. XIV - Asteroid /4/ Vesta
Gehrels (1967), investigating the direction of Vesta's pole, found that his light curves exhibited two distinct maxima. An analysis of all available light curves over the period from 1950 to 1973 shows that Vesta has a true period of 10h40m58s.84 (+ or - 0s.01 p.e.) with two maxima and two mini...
