Abstract

Through his life, Josep Comas Solà discovered several astronomical objects; variable and double stars, the atmosphere of Titan, two comets, eleven asteroids... In sixteen months, from March of 2002, members of the Agrupació Astronòmica de Sabadell were able to register all asteroids found by the barcelonian astronomer. A time later, the photometry team of the association determined the rotation period of many of them, being the first to calculate the period of 1102 Pepita.
