cds-question@unistra.frsolar-systemasteroidsccd-photometryNear-Earth asteroid (hereafter NEA) 162173 (1999 JU3) is a potential target of two asteroid sample return missions not only because of its accessibility but also because of the first C-type asteroid for exploration missions. The lightcurve related physical properties of this object were investigated during the 2011-2012 apparition. We aim to confirm the physical parameters useful for JAXAs Hayabusa 2 mission such as rotational period, absolute magnitude and phase function. Our data complement previous studies which did not cover low phase angles. With optical imagers and 1-2m class telescopes, we acquired the photometric data at different phase angles. We independently derived the rotational lightcurve and the phase curve of the asteroid.2013A&A...550L..11Khttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/550/L11CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toJ/A+A/509/A27 : Near-Earth asteroids + QSOs close approaches (Nedelcu+, 2010)J/A+A/509/A94 : Lightcurves of 14 NEAs (Kwiatkowski+, 2010)J/A+A/511/A40 : Near Earth Asteroids positions (Birlan+, 2010)J/A+A/511/A49 : Lightcurves of 12 NEAs (Kwiatkowski+, 2010)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/550/L11https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/550/L11http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/550/L11https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/550/L11https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/550/L11http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/550/L11GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapdefaultJ/A+A/550/L11/tableAspect data and observing informationF[R] Filter (R=red)instr.bandpasscharObsObservatory code (2)meta.id;instr.obstycharLCLight curve of the asteroidmeta.ref.urlcharLCNLight curve numbermeta.bib.figintPABLatPhase angle bisector latitude (1)degsrc.orbitalfloatrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
