Data Points: 1235
Discovered: 1990-02-27  Palomar  E. F. Helin
Family/Group: Hungaria
Taxonomic Class: A
Published: Web only
NOTES: Unless otherwise stated, the "Reduced Magnitudes" in the plots are Cousins R, based on 2MASS to BVRI conversions (Warner, MPB 34, 113-119)

The MPB paper (involving a considerable collaboration) gave a period of ~7 (or ~14 h) with an amplitude of 0.06 mag. The curve showed very weird behavior that could not be explained.

The plot shows only PDO data after remeasuring the images using the Comp Star Selector feature in MPO Canopus to link sessions to ± 0.05 mag or better (on average).
