Abstract
UBV measurements of Triton relative to Neptune were obtained with an area-scanning photometer on 11 nights during the 1977 apparition. Observed orbital brightness variation shows that Triton is locked in synchronous rotation around Neptune. Its leading side, seen at greatest western elongation, is found to be 0.06 mag brighter than its trailing hemisphere.
