Scientific paper

Radar observations of the asteroid 1580 Betulia, made at a wavelength of
12.6 cm, show a mean radar cross section of 2.2 + or- 0.8 sq km and a
total spectral bandwidth of 26.5 + or- 1.5 Hz. Combining bandwidth
measurements with the optically determined rotation period sets a lower
limit to the asteroid's radius of 2.9 + or- 0.2 km.
