Scientific paper

Asteroid Ra-Shalom was subjected to 13-cm wavelength radar and V-filter photoelectric observations during its August-September 1981 apparition; the radar data yield echoes in the same sense of circular polarization as transmitted (SC) as well as in the opposite sense (OC). SC-to-OC echo power ratio estimates indicate that most of the backscattering is due to single reflections from surface elements that are relatively smooth at decimeter scales. The photoelectric data suggest a value of 19.79 hours for the synodic rotation period.
