Abstract
In the framework of the collaborative program between the Astronomy In stitute of Catania University and the Torino Astronomical Observatory to collect new photometric lightcurves of main-belt asteroids, six new objects were observed. The B and V photoelectric observations were ca rried out at Serra la Nave stellar station of Catania Astrophysical Ob servatory during June and August 1992 and April, May and November 1993 . The observed asteroids and their reliable determined synodic rotatio nal periods are: 238 Hypatia (P = 8.(h)84+/-0.(h)01), 371 Bohemia (P=1 2.(h)48+/-0.(h)01), 411 Xanthe (P=7.(h)48+/-0.(h)01), 419 Aurelia (P=1 6.(h)63+/-0.(h)01), 665 Sabine (P=3.(h)932+/-0.(h)008), 914 Palisana ( P=15.(h)62+/-0.(h)01). No large modulation of the B - V color is in ge neral evident for all the observed objects.
