Abstract A method of determination of poles, triaxial ellipsoid model shapes, senses of rotation, and sidereal periods of asteroids is presented. These parameters have been obtained simultaneously by solving a set of nonlinear equations, combining the well-known methods of photometric astrometry, amplitude-aspect, and magnitude-aspect. The results for 30 asteroids are presented. For 12 objects these parameters have been determined for the first time and for 8 others they have been improved. The remaining 10 asteroids were used mainly as test objects for the method. The rotational poles continue to show a tendency to avoid the ecliptic plane. Amplitude-solar phase angle and magnitude-phase angle relationships are obtained for most of the asteroids.
