\nobservations taken with a 0.35-m telescope at the Sopot Observatory in
\nSerbia, a 0.61-m telescope at the Skalnate Pleso Observatory, a 0.30-m
\ntelescope at the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Siena,
\na 0.23-m telescope at the WBRO Florence Observatory, a 0.50-m telescope
\nat the Starry Night Observatory, a 0.90-m telescope at the Sierra Nevada
\nObservatory IAA-CSIC and a 0.50-m telescope at the Shed of
\nScience South Observatory during Mar. 2-May 16 reveal that minor planet
\n(3523) is a binary system with an orbital period of 29.26 +\/- 0.02 hr.
\nThe primary shows a period of 2.6742 +\/- 0.0001 hr and has a lightcurve
\namplitude of 0.08 magnitude at solar phases 9-13 degrees, suggesting a
\nnearly spheroidal shape. Mutual eclipse\/occultation events that are
\n0.06 magnitude deep indicate a lower limit on the secondary-to-primary
\nmean-diameter ratio of 0.24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
