Scientific paper

The Amplitude-Magnitude method is used for the pole determination of the asteroid 511 Davida, using observations from six oppositions. The possible north poles are found to be λ1 = 92°±7°; β1 = 33°±6°, and λ2 = 303°±4°; β2 = 34°±5°, when scattering effect is not taken into account. When scattering is accounted for, solutions not significantly different from (λ1, β1) and (λ2, β2) are obtained. The moderately eccentric and inclined orbit of 511 Davida does not allow the authors to distinguish between the two pole solutions.
