512 Taurinensis is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.512 It is an S-type asteroid, with a rotation period of 5.59 hours (Lagerkvist & Claesson 1996). The asteroid has been observed previously during the 1981 apparition by Lagerkvist & Kamel (1982), and Harris et al. (1992). Our observations confirm fully the previous rotationperiod (Fig. 16). The colour indices also agree with the previous values. The lightcurve has the same type of variability in the secondary maximum as was present in the lightcurve during the 1981 apparition (Lagerkvist & Kamel 1982).
