Tumbling motion of 1I/'Oumuamua and its implications for the body's distant past
Michal Drahus, Piotr Guzik, Waclaw Waniak et al., 2018. Nature Astronomy.
Homogeneous Gemini North photometry covering 8.06 hours over two nights: a brightness range of 2.6 ± 0.2 magnitudes, a double-peaked period of 7.56 ± 0.01 hours inconsistent with earlier values, a light curve that does not repeat from cycle to cycle, and an ultra-deep stack with no sign of activity. Nature Astronomy 2, 407-412.
What it's used for here
The best single-instrument light curve and an independent demonstration of tumbling.
