Papini, and F. Salvaggio, Dipartimento di Scienze Fisiche, Della Terra e
Dell’Ambiente, University of Siena, report that photometric observations
taken with a 0.35-m telescope at the Sopot Observatory in Serbia, a 0.50-m
telescope at the Shed of Science South Observatory, a 0.61-m telescope at
the Skalnate Pleso Observatory, 0.28-m telescope at Soucieu-en-Jarrest, a
0.35-m telescope at the Isaac Aznar Observatory, a 0.50-m telescope at the
Sugarloaf Mountain Observatory, a 0.35-m telescope at the Organ Mesa
Observatory, a 0.70-m telescope at the Chuguev station of the Kharkiv
Observatory in Ukraine, and a 0.30-m telescope at the Astronomical
Observatory of the University of Siena during Sept. 22-Oct. 26 reveal that
minor planet (2019) is a binary system with an orbital period of 17.982 ±
0.003 hr. The primary shows a period of 2.7294 ± 0.0005 hr and has a
lightcurve amplitude of 0.16 magnitude at solar phases 2-3 degrees. Mutual
eclipse/occultation events that are 0.07 to 0.12 magnitude deep indicate a
lower limit on the secondary-to-primary mean-diameter ratio of 0.26.

Aug. 10-Oct. 2 reveal that minor planet (18303) is a binary system with an
orbital period of 12.270 ± 0.003 hr. The primary shows a period of
2.72627 ± 0.00010 hr and has a lightcurve amplitude of 0.10 magnitude at
solar phases 4-14 degrees, suggesting a nearly spheroidal shape. Mutual
eclipse/occultation events that are 0.05 to 0.12 magnitude deep indicate
a secondary-to-primary mean-diameter ratio of 0.24 ± 0.03.
