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.
