Scientific paper

Time-resolved thermal maxima and minima from near- and mid-IR photometry for the asteroids 532 Herculina and 45 Eugenia are noted to occur at nearly the same time as the maxima and minima in reflected light, while model lightcurves for Herculina, based on Taylor et al.'s (1987) albedo distribution, had predicted a 90-deg out-of-phase relationship. It is presently found through a comparison of model and observed lightcurves that the light variations of both Herculina and Eugenia are primarily the result of variations in shape rather than in albedo.
