Rotational periods vs. absolute magnitudes for all NEOs with published lightcurves (black dots). NEOs with a full lightcurve presented in this study are depicted with red circles (Apollos), green squares (Amors), and blue diamonds (Atens). NEOs with partial lightcurves (i.e., a lower limit for their periods) are indicated with triangles and the same color code as mentioned before. The red dashed line is the spin barrier at 2.2 hr.
