The Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) 2009 UN3 was discovered by the Siding Springs Survey on October 19 2009 (MPEC 2009-U52). With an expected diameter 800 m < D < 1700 m, and with a Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance MOID = 0.024 AU, the NEA has been designated as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) by the Minor Planet Center. We took advantage of the object's 2010 apparition to obtain Bessel BVRI colors and rotational lightcurves over the course of three nights at the JPL Table Mountain 0.6-m telescope (TMO), as illustrated in Figures 1-3 [>1][2][3] and summarized in Table 1.
