Abstract
We report photometric observations of nine main-belt asteroids (MBAs), four near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), and one Mars-crossing asteroid (MCA) carried out with the historical Tonantzintla Schmidt Camera between 2015 and 2018, as part of a process of reactivation of this telescope for astrometric and photometric follow-up observations of MBAs and NEAs. This observational program is part of the commitment made by INAOE when requesting its inclusion in the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN). We present the light curves of these 14 asteroids and their corresponding Fourier analyses to determine the rotation period of the asteroids and the brightness amplitude of their light curves.
