Taxonomic Class: S
Published: MPB 37, 70-73
NOTES: Unless otherwise stated, the "Reduced Magnitudes" in the plots are Cousins R, based on 2MASS to BVRI conversions (Warner, MPB 34, 113-119)

This was a known binary (Merline et al., 2003). Collaboration with Petr Pravec and the Binary Asteroids Survey (only PDO data are shown). In this case, there were no mutual events but a secondary period was well-established. It is probable that the shorter period is that of the primary. See MPB article for full discussion.
