<str<strong>on</strong>g>Lightcurve</str<strong>on</strong>g> photometry is the<br />
process <strong>of</strong> measuring the<br />
variati<strong>on</strong>s in brightness (magnitude<br />
or flux versus time) <strong>of</strong> a specific<br />
object, such as a comet or<br />
asteroid.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Lightcurve</str<strong>on</strong>g> analysis <strong>of</strong> comets<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> asteroids can reveal many<br />
traits including rotati<strong>on</strong> rate,<br />
rotati<strong>on</strong> axis, shape, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
compositi<strong>on</strong> (when imaged in<br />
multiple colors).
