ONE NEW AND ONE SUSPECTED HUNGARIA BINARY ASTEROID.

Brian D Warner1, Robert D Stephens2.   

Abstract

CCD photometry observations were made of two Hungaria asteroids in 2013 April and May. 4765 Wasserburg was found to be a previously undiscovered binary with a primary period of 3.6231 ± 0.0005 h and a satellite orbital period of 15.97 ± 0.02. What makes this a particularly interesting find is that the asteroid is one member of an asteroid pair (Vokrouhlický and Nesvorný 2008). The suspected Hungaria binary is (12390) 1994 WB1. Data from 2013 indicate the possibility of a satellite with an orbital period of 15.94 h and a primary rotation period of 2.462 h. However, analysis of data from 2008 does not show a satellite and found a period of 15.20 h. At best, 1994 WB1 is an "asteroid of interest."
