Lightcurve and rotation period of 40 Harmonia. (1987). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 15(1), 103-105. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1987rmxaa..15..103g

Abstract

The authors have studied photometrically the lightcurve of the asteroid 40 Harmonia. From three fragments of curve observed in May 1986, they have determined a period of 8h54m.6±0m.6 and a maximum amplitude of 0.14 mag. Such a period turns out to be somewhat shorter than that adopted in the TRIAD Catalogue but it is in good agreement with previous observations.
