Scientific paper

Two different methods were used to determine the poles and shapes of the following asteroids: 23 Thalia, 40 Harmonia, 45 Eugenia, 54 Alexandria, and 135 Hertha. The methods used were an approach based on a least squares fit of the amplitudes (similar to Magnusson's amplitude method) and the Pospieszalska Surdej and Surdej (1985) method. The results are compared, and the dependences of the solutions on the methods are explored. No significant discrepancies introduced by the different procedures applied to the same data set were found.
