Scientific paper

The main-belt asteroid 5088 Tancredi was observed during a period of 42 days close to the 2009 opposition. The data were collected with a clear filter on 15 different nights. R-magnitudes were calculated using the MPOSC3 Catalog. The observations covered a range of phase angles from 0.35° to 16°. The phase coefficients in the H-G system (R-mag) are: HR = 12.36 HR = 12.36 [12.30, 12.43]; G = 0.058 [-0.036, 0.153], with 95% confidence range presented within the brackets. Based on the low value of G, the asteroid can be tentatively classified as a C-type asteroid. A precise estimate of the rotation period is computed as P = 5.05909 ± 0.00014 h. The amplitude is A = 0.31 mag.
