Abstract:

Three selected asteroids, numbered 58, 360 and 405, were observed during 2000 at Yunnan Observatory, China. The new lightcurves are presented in this paper. The synodic period of (58) Concordia is estimated as 9.90 ± 0.01h for the first time. The synodic period of (405) Thia derived from our observation is 9.96 ± 0.01h, which is slightly different from the previous result. For 360, we obtained the synodic period of 6.18 ± 0.02h which is consistent with previous values. Additionally, the BV and UB-colour indexes for the three asteriods were also determined.
