A photoelectric survey of 130 asteroidsAsteroid collisional evolution has been investigated by an observational survey conducted on 150 nights from November, 1982, to February, 1985. Attention is given to the function of collisions in the clearing of the Kirkwood 3/1 resonance gap and the formation and evolution of the Eos and Koronis families. When combined, the more than 400 lightcurves obtained allowed the derivation of rotational periods and lightcurve amplitudes. In addition, B-V and U-B colors were obtained for most of the objects. Absolute magnitudes have been computed, and a tabulation of observational circumstances is presented.
