(139345) 2001 KA67: A Potential NEA Very-wide Binary Asteroid
Abstract
Analysis of CCD photometric observations of the near- Earth asteroid (139345) 2001 KA67 show that it may be a very wide asynchronous binary, which features a long primary and short secondary period. The two periods that were found for 2001 KA67, P1 = 44.25 ± 0.05 h and P2 = 6.011 ± 0.003 h, are in-line with other potential members of this class.
