Scientific paper

Observations of the Hungaria asteroid 2577 Litva in 2009 late February to early April show that the asteroid is a binary. The primary period (synodic) is 2.81258 ± 0.00002 h and the orbital period (synodic) is 35.81 ± 0.01 h. The depth of mutual events (occultations and eclipses) indicate a size ratio of Ds/Dp (lower limit) = 0.34 ± 0.02. A secondary period of 5.6842 ± 0.0002 h was also found. This is due either to the rotation of the satellite that is not tidally locked with the orbital period or a third body.
