Scientific paper

Photometric UVBRI and astrometric data on Nereid were collected in June, 1987 using the 0.9-m telescope and CCD camera at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. Four astrometric positions and UVBRI reflectances spanning eight days were obtained. From these data, an unusual reflectance spectrum for Nereid was determined. Variability of Nereid was observed in all bandpasses, with an amplitude greater than 1.5 mag and a probable period of between 8 and 24 hr.
