Abstract
In an attempt to further characterise the near-Earth asteroid (NEA)
population we present 38 new light-curves acquired between September 2020 and
November 2023 for NEAs (7335) 1989 JA, (7822) 1991 CS, (154244) 2002 KL6 and
(159402) 1999 AP10, obtained from observations taken at the Teide Observatory
(Tenerife, Spain). With these new observations along with archival data, we
computed their first shape models and spin solutions by applying the light
curve inversion method. The obtained rotation periods are in good agreement
with those reported in previous works, with improved uncertainties.
Additionally, besides the constant period models for (7335) 1989 JA, (7822)
1991 CS and (159402) 1999 AP10, our results for (154244) 2002 KL6 suggest that
it could be affected by a Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack acceleration
with a value of $\upsilon \simeq -7 \times 10^{-9}$ rad d$^{-2}$. This would be
one of the first detections of this effect slowing down an asteroid.
