| Abstract: | Since about ten years coordinated programs of photoelectric observations of asteroids are carried out to derive rotation rates and light curves. Quite a number of those asteroids exhibit features in their light curves, with similar characteristics as variable stars and especially eclipsing binaries. This would allow also an interpretation that there might be an evidence for the binary nature of some asteroids, based on observational hints. A few examples are given and a list of indications for the possible binary nature of asteroids, based on their light curve features, is presented.Paper presented at the Lembang-Bamberg IAU Colloquium No. 80 on  Double Stars: Physical Properties and Generic Relations , held at Bandung, Indonesia, 3–7 June, 1983. |
