The Asteroid Photometric Catalogue was used to redetermine the rotation periods of all asteroids with data in the catalogue. The quality of the period determinat,ions was divided into five groups. The total number of asteroids studied were 710 and 225 of these were considered not to be observed eno

The Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect may spin up or spin down 5-km-radius asteroids on a 10 8 -year timescale. Smaller asteroids spin up or down even faster due to the radius-squared dependence of the YORP timescale. The mechanism is the absorption of sunlight and its re-emission
A relation between the radii arid rotation ratcs of S-type asteroids is discussed. According to this relation these objects do not rotate with the same spin rate. Ausgehend voii radionietrisch bestimmten Durchmesserii wird eine der Aimahme glcicher Rotationsgeschwipdigkeitcn widersprechende Beziehu
As a part of an observational program on Cybele asteroids we have obtained lightcurves of 10 of the larger asteroids. In this paper the results are presented for 229 Adelinda,
