Asteroid 4962 Vecherka: A High-Amplitude Slow Rotator

We present nine nights of photometric observations of the main-belt asteroid 4962 Vecherka. Its amplitude during our observations was not less than 1.08 ± 0.02 mag. We estimated its synodic rotation period at 14 ± 2 d (336 ± 48 h), meaning that 4962 Vecherka is probably among a rare class of slowly rotating, highamplitude asteroids. A much longer observational campaign is required to calculate the period of rotation with a satisfactory accuracy.
