Photoelectric light curves of minor planets 599 Luisa and 128 Nemesis during the 1976 opposition

Asteroids 599 Luisa and 128 Nemesis were observed photometrically at the European Southern Observatory during the 1976 opposition. The light curve of 599 Luisa shows two well-shaped minima and maxima together with a short-time-scale feature. The synodic period of rotation found for 599 Luisa 9 hr 33 min 58 (+ or -46) sec, and the maximum amplitude of the light curve is 0.18 mag. Minor planet 128 Nemesis could only be observed during one night and appears to be a slowly rotating asteroid.
