Photometric Study of Vestoids at Modra
V-type asteroids are located especially in the inner part of the main belt, often within the Vesta family and close to it. A dedicated photometric survey of such asteroids was initiated at Modra Observatory (Slovakia) in 2012 August using a 0.6 m f/5.5 reflector equipped with an AP8p CCD camera and a clear filter. The research was supported by the Slovak Grant Agency for Science VEGA. It lasted 13 years. We analyzed rotation properties, phase-curve parameters, approximate shapes, and absolute magnitudes. Thanks to collaboration with other researchers a few papers were published (Oszkiewicz et al. 2020, 2022, 2023, Galád et al. 2026). Here we list the surveyed asteroids with their composite lightcurves, season by season. Some asteroids were surveyed repeatedly, some asteroids have composite lightcurves (binaries, tumblers).

We photometrically studied also many other asteroids for other programs or just as a by product of our routine observations. Part of the results were published, but many lightcurves are open to future studies.
