Scientific paper

Pole positions, senses of rotation, and triaxial model shapes of six asteroids are presented. We derive prograde sense of rotation for 32 Pomona. For 201 Penelope a previous inconsistency in the determined sense of rotation is resolved in favor of the retrograde one. We confirm and improve on previous results for 3 Juno, 5 Astraea, 10 Hygiea, and 250 Bettina. The analysis is based on epochs, amplitudes, and magnitudes of published photometric lightcurves.
