Scientific paper

We present results of our CCD photometry of near-Earth asteroids (1627), (4957), (6569), 1993 UC, 1994 AH_2, 1994 CB, and 1994 LX, that we made in 1994 and 1995. Synodic rotation periods were determined for 6 of them for the first time, and we provide constraints and show a consistency of our results with the earlier spin vector determination for (1627). Among the other objects, the most interesting observations were obtained for (4957), containing information useful for future spin vector determinations; 1993 UC, that is the second fastest rotator known among asteroids (period 2.340 hr); 1994 AH_2, an object on the margin between asteroidal and cometary orbital types, with the probable rotation period of 23.95 hr; and 1994 CB, one of the smallest (est. 0.2 km) asteroids observed photometrically up to now.
