Lightcurves and pole position of asteroid 3 Juno
Abstract
Thirteen lightcurves of asteroid 3 Juno from three different oppositions are given. The pole of Juno is less than 10 deg from ecliptic longitude 104 deg and latitude + 36 deg (or 316 and + 62 deg). The sidereal period is 0.3003969 + or - 0.0000003 (1 sigma) day and the rotation is prograde. There is little similarity between the Juno lightcurves from 8 oppositions which is unexplained at this time.
