Demystifying enigmatic visitors of the near-Earth region
Asteroids Observations
Asteroid (10461) Dawilliams in the field of view of the telescope
during observations performed on August 12, 2023. The observations were made with the 1.5-meter Milanković
telescope at AS Vidojevica (MPC code C89).

One of our activities within the ENIGMA project includes photometric observations of
asteroids. The majority of observations will be conducted using 1.4 and 0.6-meter telescopes at the Astronomical
Station on Vidojevica, near Prokuplje. Additionally, in collaboration with colleagues from Spain, we will also use
a 1.5-meter telescope at the Sierra Nevada Observatory for a number of observations.
The primary goal is to observe asteroids that potentially rotate very quickly around
their spin axis, with the aim of constructing their light curves. Based on these, we plan to precisely determine
their rotation periods.
