Twelve different sessions were conducted on this object, but only data from six nights were useful. A total of 249 observations were acquired on November 11, December 7, 8, 18, 21, and 20, 2001 yielding full coverage of the lightcurve. The period of (959) Arne was found to be 8.60h +/-0.1h and the amplitude 0.35m +/-0.02m.
