Golevka is approximated with a spheroid with oblateness parameter
Contrary to the Golevka example, the perturbation is now much larger and is dominated by the secular effect in the semimajor axis due to the albedo asymmetry (the short-periodic effect of the absorbed radiation pressure is negligible).

Furthermore, in the case of the Golevka infrared observations the STM is especially inappropriate, due to the large solar phase angle of ~90°.
However, in the case of Golevka it is known that the latitude of the sub-Earth point at the time of the infrared observations was about -80°, while the sub-Solar latitude was almost equatorial.
The analysis of the integral phase curve in terms of the Hapke photometric theory indicates a body whose surface is characterized by highly reflective and backscattering particles, confirms the presence of a sharp opposition effect at very small phase angles, and suggests a relatively smooth surface at macroscopic scales.

Asteroid 6489 "Golevka" is relatively inconspicuous by near-Earth asteroid standards.
But as unremarkable as Golevka is on a celestial scale it is also relatively well characterized, having been observed via radar in 1991, 1995, 1999, and this past May. An international team of astronomers have used this comprehensive data set to make a detailed analysis of the asteroid's orbital path.

 [1.04] 6489 Golevka revisited: New evidence for a pyroxene-rich near-Earth asteroid.
The spectrum of 6489 Golevka was originally interpreted as a V-type [Hicks & Grundy 1995, IAUC 6117], comparable to the class of what is thought to be achondritic asteroids associated with 4 Vesta and spanning the gulf to the 3:1 resonance [Binzel & Xu 1993 Science 260, 186].
Though it is becoming quite obvious that a significant fraction of small Earth-approaching asteroids exhibit colors and spectra across visible wavelengths consistent with HED and ordinary chondritic meteorites, more work is needed at longer wavelengths to help resolve ambiguities in the interpretation of their spectra.
6489 Golevka was observed with NSFCAM on the NASA IRTF telescope on the nights of June 15 and 16 1999, obtaining several spectra with both the IHJ "Asteroid" and K-grisms.

Golevka isn't going to hit the Earth, explained Mark Boslough, a Sandia scientist and asteroid threat analyst.
Keeping tabs on Golevka has helped pin down the Yarkovsky Effect — a miniscule amount of force produced as the asteroid absorbs energy from the Sun and re-radiates it into space as heat.
Boslough said the actual geometry from radar measurements of asteroid Golevka were used in the computer simulations.

 Yarkovsky effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The asteroid drifted 15 km from its predicted position over twelve years (the orbit was established with great precision by a series of radar observations in 1991, 1995 and 1999).
In general, the effect is size dependent, and will affect the semi-major axis of smaller asteroids, while leaving large asteroids practically unaffected.
For kilometre-sized asteroids the Yarkovsky effect is minuscule over short periods: 6489 Golevka is estimated to be subjected to a force of about 0.25 newton, for a net acceleration of 10

They determined that the Yarkovsky effect had deflected little Golevka by about 16 kilometers (10 miles) from its predicted path in 12 years, which allowed them to fix Golevka's density.
The density was low -- much lower than that of most asteroids -- meaning that Golevka is likely a fractured object containing a significant amount of open pore space.
For Toutatis, Ostro hopes to find a higher density, because if the density he finds is high enough, it would be possible to exclude chondritic compositions and say for sure that Toutatis is a stony-iron object.
