Scientific paper

The Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System OSIRIS observed the E-type asteroid (2867) Steins during the fly-by of ESA's Rosetta spacecraft. Before the flyby, the OSIRIS camera obtained two light curves on 20 August and 4 September 2008. Combined with previously published OSIRIS and ground-based observations, we will present a refined global shape model of the asteroid, the rotational parameters and the phase function (at large phase angles).
