585 Bilkis (128 words)
Bilkis is a type C asteroid of about 52km size.
Specifically, the data used to find a lightcurve solution were obtained on 2001 May 14, 15, June 25, July 8, 9 and 16.
During the span of used observations, the phase angle of Bilkis decreased from 17 to about 11.5.
Update for (585) Bilkis - December 11/12, 2003 (385 words)
In the night of December 11/12, 2003 a faint 11.7 mag star TYC 0688-00862-1 will be occulted by a 60 km asteroid (585) Bilkis.
This update is based on USNO/Flagstaff and TMO astrometry for the asteroid and UCAC2 star position.
Close finding chart (prepared in GUIDE8): * occulted star is in center - labeled with cross * field is 3.0x3.0 degrees * limiting magnitude is 13.0 * labeled stars have indicated SAO numbers * remarks: Second chart shows 3 degrees blowup to show correctly the star in field.
