The S-type asteroid 714 Ulula with a diameter of 41.0 km (IRAS) was observed photoelectrically during four nights in January 1983 at ESO, Chile. We have derived a complete double mode lightcurve with a maximum amplitude of 0.55 mag, a rotation period of P = 7h.000±0h.005 (0d.2917 ±0d.0002) and color indices with B-V 0.89±0.02 and U-B = 0.42±0.04 in close agreement with Bowell et al. (1979).
Using a G value of 0.250 we have derived H0 replacing the old V0 (1, 0), the absolute magnitude of the primary maximum, with H0 = 9.15. Asteroid 714 Ulula seems to be an unusually irregular object as far as the large lightcurve amplitude for asteroids in the diameter range of 31 to 60km is concerned.
