Spin Vector and Shape of (6070) Rheinland and Their Implications

Abstrakt

Here, we report extensive photometric observations of this asteroid and use the light curve inversion technique to directly determine its rotation state and shape. We confirm the retrograde sense of rotation of Rheinland, with obliquity value constrained to be larger than 140 degrees.

The ecliptic longitude of the pole position is not well constrained as yet.
