Physical properties of asteroids. Part I.
Abstract
The paper reviews some of the more important methods of observing asteroids and studying their physical properties. The principles of photoelectric observations are examined. Examples of light curves are discussed. The dependence of brightness on phase angle and the variation of color indices are also considered.
