    Direct observational evidence of the YORP effect is the primary goal of our work. This includes both the YORP detection for new objects and an improvement in the accuracy of previously known detections. We carried out photometric observations of five nearEarth asteroids: (1862) Apollo, (2100) Ra-Shalom, (85989) 1999 JD6, (138852) 2000 WN10, and (161989) Cacus. Then we applied the lightcurve inversion method to all available data to determine the spin state and a convex shape model for each of the five studied asteroids. The YORP effect was modeled as a linear change of the rotation frequency upsilon equivalent to d omega/dt. In the case of (2100) Ra-Shalom, the analysis required that the spinaxis precession due to the solar gravitational torque also be included. We obtained two new detections of the YORP effect: (i) upsilon = (2.9 +/- 2.0) x 10(-9) rad d(-2) for (2100) Ra-Shalom, and (ii) upsilon = (5.5 +/- 0.7) x 10(-8) rad d(-2) for (138852) 2000 WN10.
