Abstract
The spin states of the small solar system objects can be altered by a net torque arising from the anisotropic thermal re-emission of sunlight on the surface, the so-called YORP effect. We present the results of ground-based observations of the near-Earth asteroid Itokawa, which is the target asteroid of the Hayabusa spacec, and its comparison with the theoretical model of Itokawa's YORP.
