1991 VH
Abstract
P. Pravec, M. Wolf, and L. Sarounova, Ondrejov Observatory, report: "Our photometric observations of this Apollo object on ten nights during Feb. 27-Mar. 13 revealed the presence of two periods in the lightcurve, 2.6236 +/- 0.0003 and 32.74 +/- 0.05 hr. Analysis of the lightcurve suggests that, like 1994 AW1 (which has a rather similar orbit), 1991 VH may be an eclipsing/occulting binary (Pravec and Hahn 1997, Icarus, in press). Further observations of the eclipse/occultation events from more than one station are desirable. A current ephemeris for the object is on MPC 27570. Approximate ephemerides for the primary and secondary minima are JD 2450518.38 + 1.364E and 2450520.37 + 1.364E, respectively. See http://sunkl.asu.cas.cz/~ppravec/91vh.html for details."
