Scientific paper

Photometric observations made at the Palmer Divide Observatory during the 2006 and 2008 apparitions of the main-belt asteroid 595 Polyxena were combined with dense lightcurves from 1993 included in the Uppsala Asteroid Photometric Catalog and a sparse lightcurve based on data from the USNO to determine a preliminary shape and spin axis model. Two solutions dominated the result set, one prograde (? = 42°, ß = 8°) and one retrograde (? = 222°, ß = -4°). The uncertainty in each coordinate is ± 5°. The sidereal period was found to be 11.794162 ± 0.000023 h.
