Hello
During the close flyby of asteroid 2026 KT2, a series of photometric measurements were obtained on May 27 at the KYSUCE Observatory in Žilina - Cassegrain 400/2720 + ASI ZWO 6200 MM PRO, from which a light curve was compiled showing changes in brightness during the rotation of the body. Analysis of the rotation period of approximately 1.19 ± 0.04 hours.
The observed amplitude of the light curve reaches approximately 1.12 magnitude, which is a high value. changes in brightness usually indicate a significantly elongated or irregular shape of the body, or a contact binary object. The shape of the curve contains two distinct minima and one dominant maximum, which is typical of irregularly rotating bodies.
