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

Following initial analysis of 2012 data, those from 2004, 2007, and 2011 were again reviewed for the possibility of a satellite. The 2007 apparaition shows a very good possibility of a satellite with an orbital period of 31.98 h. The 2004 data give 31.79. The data from 2011 give a very marginal secondary solution.
