Determination of Light Variations of NEAs by the Pill Aperture Photometry

Paweł Koleńczuk

Near-Earth Asteroid photometry is struggling with the problem of their observed high speed in the sky during approaching Earth what causes image stretching of an asteroid and/or stars on a CCD frame. In this work we analyze the efficiency and usefulness of the pill aperture photometry from the TRIPPy package to obtain the optimal S/N ratio.
