The Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) 217807 (2000 XK44) was discovered Dec 5 2000 by the LINEAR moving-object survey (MPEC 2000-X28) and experienced a close-approach to the Earth (delta=0.074 AU) on Nov 04 2000, at which time the object was scheduled for radar observation at the Arecibo facility. We obtained nine nights of CCD photometry [Table 1] at the JPL Table Mountain 0.6-mm telescope, equipped with Bessel BVRI filters, to help constrain the asteroid's rotational state and surface composition.
