Photoelectric observations of 505 Cava taken on 8 nights at the Table Mountain Observatory in the fall of 1982 give a period of rotation of 8.1796±0.0010 hr with an amplitude of 0m.25. The absolute magnitude vs solar phase angle (phase relation) was measured over the range of phase angle of 10 to 25°. The resulting very steep phase relation is suggestive of a dark object (cf. K. Lumme and E. Bowell, 1981). This is consistent with the "FC" classification suggested by D. Tholen (1984) based on eight color photometry.
