Scientific paper

Attempts made to solve the problem of the 4 Vesta rotation period are described together with photometric, polarimetric, and speckle interferometric observations. Gehrels' (1967) photometric astronomy method was used to determine the sidereal period, pole coordinates, and direction of rotation of the asteroid. Good agreement is found between the light curves when the rotation period is short.
