Abstract

The results of photometric observations of seven E-type asteroids 64 Angelina, 214 Aschera, 1025 Riema, 1103 Sequoia, 1251 Hedera, 2035 Stearns, and 2248 Dwornik are presented. New rotation periods have been determined for asteroids 1025 Riema (6.557±0.001 h) , 1251 Hedera (15.015±0.010 h) , 2035 Stearns (85.0±0.1 h ), and 2048 Dwornik (3.664±0.001 h) . Two new poles have been estimated for 214 Aschera (274±8°; 64±4°) and 1025 Riema (141±10°, 11±6°) and pole has been redefined for 64 Angelina (138±10°, 31±5°). Using all available data on rotation periods, the spin rates of E-type asteroids have been analyzed. The distribution of the spin rates has maximum corresponding to the period of about 6.2 h . The shapes of E-asteroids are more elongated than the shapes of small-size S-asteroids. The average values of color indexes, albedo and G parameter for E-type asteroids have also been determined.
