Scientific paper

A method for determining the pole coordinates and sidereal rotation
period of elongated asteroids is presented which is based on a simple
geometrical model of an asteroid. The method is applied to the asteroids
216 Kleopatra and 433 Eros, which have large amplitudes of light
variation.
