Scientific paper

Photometric CCD light curves of 1620 Geographos are presented. Using all available observations we estimate the retrograde sense of rotation with the sidereal period of 0.21763867 pm 0.00000008 days. A solution for the spin vector gives in ecliptic coordinates (1950.0) lambda_p=54circ pm 6circ and beta_p=-52circ pm 6circ. Assuming a triaxial ellipsoid model we obtain axial ratios of a/b=2.6 pm 0.3 and b/c=1.1 pm 0.2.
