Scientific paper

The study of the light variation of minor planets allows an estimate of their form and rotation (direction ofaxis and period). If it is furthermore possible to obtain a measure of their apparent magnitude over as long a time interval as possible, then the knowledge of the albedo and orbit gives the absolute magnitude and dimension. A table exists that connects the diameter and the magnitude/albedo; it has been compiled by the method of least squares applied to asteroids for which the diameters have been determined by other methods.
