Scientific paper

The large and dark asteroid 45 Eugenia was observed during four nights with a photoelectric photometer attached to the 50 cm telescope at the European Southern Observatory. The lightcurve shows two maxima and two minima with a maximum amplitude of 0.29 mag, while the rotation period was found to be 5h.702 ± 0h005. This value has been improved by means of the observations made a month later by Harris and Young (1979); we deduced Psyn = 5h6990 ± 0h0003 in very good agreement with our and Harris and Young results.
