Abstract

We analyzed the inactive nucleus of the main-belt comet 2010 LH15 at a true anomaly of 262°. Observations using the Gemini North Telescope in 2023 July yielded an absolute R-band magnitude of (18.4 ± 0.2) mag. Assuming a C-type geometric albedo and phase function, we estimated the nucleus radius to be (0.5 ± 0.1) km. The examination of the lightcurve profile did not yield clear evidence for a rotational period shorter than 2 hr.
