A Photoelectric Light-Curve of Eros.
Abstract
Photoelectric observations of Eros made on February 4-5, 1938, when the earth was in or near the asteroid's equatorial plane, are presented. A new analysis of the form and size of Eros, following Krug and Schrutka-Rechtenstanmi, leads to a three-axis ellip- soid with axes of 3~.o, 15.6, and 7.2 km
