Scientific paper

A calculation of the coordinates of the poles of Eros from observational data shows that the direction of Eros' rotation has undergone considerable change due to nutation in a time scale of one month. The theoretical amplitude-aspect relation is compared with the actual relation corresponding to various poles. The length of Eros is computed to be about 22 kilometers. Eros is rotating counter-clockwise as seen from its north pole; therefore, it is rotating directly.
