Observations made during 1958–1959 at theMcDonald Observatory and in 1969 at theKitt Peak National Observatory found an unevenlight curve with a period of 10.9267 hours.[8] In the late 1990s, a network of astronomers worldwide usedlight curves to derive spin states and shape models of 10 new asteroids, including (110) Lydia. They obtained a period of 10.92580 hours, with the brightness varying by no more than 0.2 inmagnitude.[4]
