Lightcurve observations of 16 near-Earth objects (NEOs) and 2 Mars-crossers in 1996–1999 from three observational sites are presented. Eight objects were observed shortly after their discovery within the follow-up program of NEO observations. We were able to determine rotation periods for 14 asteroids. For 8 objects (5626, 5732, 1998 FM5, 1998 FX2, 1998 UT18, 1998 VO33, 1999 RQ36, 1999 US3) our determinations constitute new results while in the remaining 6 cases (3200, 4341, 7025, 7822, 11066, 1992 QN) we could improve or confirm previously published periods. We also put constraints on the spin vector of 3200 Phaethon. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
