Scientific paper

We obtained dense rotational lightcurves for the Main-Belt asteroid (27) Euterpe during three apparitions in 2000, 2009 and 2010 with planned observations in the summer of 2011. These were combined with sparse lightcurve data from the USNO to determine a preliminary spin vector and model shape (see Durech et al. [2] for a discussion regarding the differences between dense and sparse data sets). The analysis suggests that Euterpe has albedo features making the determination of an unambiguous spin vector and model shape difficult. So far, Euterpe's near spherical shape, low inclination, pole within 30 degrees of the plane of the solar system, and possible albedo features cause multiple pole and shape solutions to be present.
