In addition to its astrometric capabilities the Hipparcos main detector proves to be a good phototometer. The main features of the photometric reduction applied to minor planets are outlined. The apparent magnitude measured by Hipparcos is transformed into absolute magnitude after corrections for the distance to the sun, the earth and for the phase effect, are applied. We show that the remaining signal contains information on the rotational properties of the planets.
