N2 - We report the results of the 2016 Mexican Asteroid Photometry Campaign.
This year observers from seven different research institutions carried
out 34 nights of observations at three Mexican observatories. An
uncertain, but long, period of 115.108 ± 0.014 h was estimated
for 703 Noëmi from sparse data. A nearly complete lightcurve was
obtained for 1305 Pongola (P = 8.0585 ± 0.0003 h). Asteroid 2535
Hämeenlinna turned out to be a binary system where the primary
exhibits a rotation period of 3.2311 ± 0.0001 h and the secondary
shows an orbital period of 21.20 ± 0.004 h. Asteroid 4775 Hansen
(P = 3.1186 ± 0.0001 h) was well observed and showed variations
of its lightcurve between two sets of observations separated by about
six weeks.
