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

Follow-up to 2005 observations (Minor Planet Bul. 33, 35-39; Minor Planet Bul. 38, 25-31) and 2010 observations (Minor Planet Bul. 38, 25-31). Analysis of the earlier data gave periods of 3.783 h, 6.341 h, and 7.560 h. The 2012 data appear to confirm the shortest period, which is almost exactly one-half the originally reported period of 7.560 h.
