摘要: Complete lightcurves of 17 asteroids belonging to the Themis, Eos, and Maria families have been obtained, as well single-night photometric observations eight objects same families. Using also data previously available in literature, we perform a preliminary statistical analysis aimed at detecting possible correlations between rotational periods, overall lightcurve amplitudes, objetcs' sizes. No evident correlation was found, with exception weak anticorrelation size spin period. The implications this are discussed.
