Abstract
We performed R band time-series CCD photometric observations of the 55 Pandora for 2 nights using the 0.6 m telescope equipped with 2K CCD camera at SOAO (Sobaeksan Optical Astronomical Observatory). From the observation we determined its rotation period $P=0.^d2007=4.^h8168$, and maximum amplitude $0.281\;{\pm}\;0.001$. We also derived the pole position ${\lambda}_p(^o)=342$, ${\beta}_p(^o)=64$, and the shape parameter a/b = 1.27, b/c = 1.31 by applying Amplitude-Magnitude method.
