Family/Group: MB-Outer
Taxonomic Class: S
Published: MPB 37, 127-130
NOTES: Unless otherwise stated, the "Reduced Magnitudes" in the plots are Cousins R, based on 2MASS to BVRI conversions (Warner, MPB 34, 113-119)

MPB 32, 29-32: P = 15.05, A = 0.12, U = 2. The period was reported as ambiguous with P = 7.6 being possible (bimodal or monomodal curve). Remeasurment of the images found P = 7.52 h as the more likely period.

Follow-up in 2004 found P = 7.65 h with P = 15.27 also being possible.
