Scientific paper

The minor planet 79 Eurynome was observed during the 1974 opposition for four nights in November, using a photoelectric photometer attached to a 60-cm telescope. A synodic period of about 5 hr 8 min 46 sec was derived. The total amplitude of the light curve is only 0.05 mag. The light curve shows a double maximum and a double minimum; both minima appear to be at the same level. The phase angle covered by the observations ranges from 3 to 5 deg. The present results for 79 Eurynome rule out the longer period of 0.49830 day derived by F. Scaltriti and V. Zappala (1976) in favor of their possible period of 0.24915 day.
