Abstract

Astrometric and photometric observations of asteroids 276033 (2002 AJ129) and 2017 VR12 (both classified as a "Potentially Hazardous Asteroids" by the Minor Planet Center) were made using two telescopes of the Pulkovo Observatory (CAO RAS). The data was processed and the lightcurves of the objects were obtained. Accuracy of the orbital elements of the asteroids was estimated on the basis of the data obtained and the data from the Minor Planet Center.
