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 is a revision to earlier results. Another look at the 2007 data based on analysis from 2012 observations give a very strong indication of a satellite with a period of about 31.98 hours. There are hints of the same in the 2011 data.
