210 Isabella
Main Belt Asteroid
This chart was generated from observations obtained on 09/01/2009 of Asteroid 210 Isabella (over around a 4 hour period) and is part of a series of observations that will be used to create a complete lightcurve. Just from a single set of observations obtained, MPO Canopus is generating a 3.7 +/- 0.4h period of this object which will be refined as more observations are processed.
From the preliminary observations performed in this single night, MPO Canopus has generated data that suggests this minor planet has a rotational period of around 3.7 hours. 210 Isabella has a H value of 9.33 placing this object in the range of 35km - 75km. Assuming this single nights observations is accurate and 210 Isabella's rotational period is that of 3.7 hours, it would defiantly have to be that of a monolithic structure. As of now, the results of this object is inconclusive and more data is scheduled to be collected.
