We present the results of observational campaigns of asteroids performed at Asiago Station of Padova Astronomical Observatory and at M.G .
Fracastoro Station of Catania Astrophysical Observatory , as part of the large research programme on Solar System minor bodies undertaken since 1979 at the Physics and Astronomy Department of Catania University .
Photometric observations of six Main-Belt asteroids ( 27 Euterpe , 173 Ino , 182 Elsa , 539 Pamina , 849 Ara , and 984 Gretia ) , one Hungaria ( 1727 Mette ) , and two Near-Earth Objects ( 3199 Nefertiti and 2004 UE ) are reported .
The first determination of the synodic rotational period of 2004 UE was obtained .
For 182 Elsa and 1727 Mette the derived synodic period of 80.23 \pm 0.08 \leavevmode \nobreak h and 2.981 \pm 0.001 \leavevmode \nobreak h , respectively , represents a significant improvement on the previously published values .
For 182 Elsa the first determination of the H - G magnitude relation is also presented .
