✦ Synopsis

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 enough to yield any rotation period (code 0). For 121 asteroids the uncertainty was several hours (code d) and for 180 the uncertainty was less than one hour (code c). Code a was used for asteroids with reliable pole determinations (47 asteroids)

and code b was used for asteroids with very reliable synodic rotation periods (137 asteroids).

Some statistic properties of the rotation periods of asteroids are presented.

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.

We investigate the spin up of nonspherical asteroids by successive random collisions with other smaller asteroids. The spin-up rates are calculated for ellipsoidal and spherical bodies of the same mass. Then, we derive the relative spin-up efficiency, that is, the ratio of the spin-up rate of the el
