TL;DR: The spin state of small asteroids can change on a long timescale by the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect, the net torque that arises from anisotropic scattered sunlight and proper thermal radiation from an irregularly-shaped asteroid as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed photometric lightcurves of near-Earth asteroids (1865) Cerberus, (2100) Ra-Shalom, and (3103) Eger with the aim to detect possible deviations from the constant rotation caused by the YORP effect.
