Scientific paper

In mid December 2005, observations by Warner and Pray of the main-belt asteroid, (34706) 2001 OP83, indicated it was a synchronous binary. Follow-up observations and analysis showed the primary rotation period to be 2.5944±0.0001h with a lightcurve amplitude of 0.13mag. The orbital period is 20.76±0.01h. Mutual eclipse/occultation events 0.08-0.17mag deep indicate a secondary to primary ratio (Ds/Dp) of 0.28±0.02.
