摘要: Abstract We obtained R -band photometry of 433 Eros at the Table Mountain 0.6-m telescope during its 1998 apparition. Our five nights yields a rotational period P sid =5.27048±0.00064 h and visual geometric albedo for 0.27 +0.03 −0.06 , high, but within range S-type asteroids. Utilizing lightcurve data from 1974/1975 apparition we solved pole position (RA=00:46.9, DEC=+19:30.5; J2000) axial ratios 1.0:0.388:0.375, which are both significantly different previously derived values.
