\nphotometric observations taken with a 0.35-m telescope at the Sopot
\nObservatory in Serbia, a 0.35-m telescope at the Blue Mountains Observatory,
\na 0.50-m telescope at the Shed of Science South Observatory, a 0.50-m
\ntelescope at the Phillips Academy Observatory, a 0.50-m telescope at the
\nStarry Night Observatory, a 0.50-m telescope at the Mittelman Observatories
\nat New Mexico Skies, a 0.50-m telescope at the Sugarloaf Mountain
\nObservatory, a 0.50-m telescope at the Sonoita Research Observatory, and a
\n0.35-m telescope at the Isaac Aznar Observatory during Mar. 21-May 19 reveal
\nthat minor planet (1480) is a binary system with an orbital period of 19.714
\n\u00c2\u00b1 0.003 hr. The primary shows a period of 5.1600 \u00c2\u00b1 0.0002 hr and has a
\nlightcurve amplitude of 0.16 magnitude at solar phases 2-18 degrees,
\nsuggesting a nearly spheroidal shape. Mutual eclipse\/occultation events that
\nare 0.09 to 0.20 magnitude deep indicate a lower limit on the secondary-to-
\nprimary mean-diameter ratio of 0.30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
