UBV Lightcurves of Asteroid 433 Eros

UBV photometry and lightcurves of Eros were obtained on nine dates between October 1974 and March 1975. The absolute V magnitude at photometric maximum extrapolated to a solar phase angle of zero is 10.75 while the linear phase coefficient is 0.026mag deg ^-1. The mean colors at solar phase angles greater than 30° are B-V = 0.92 and U-B = 0.52mag. No significant color variations over the surface were detected.
