Analysis of CCD photometric observations of near-Earth asteroid (154244) 2002 KL6 indicate that it may be a binary system. The presumed primary has a synodic rotation period of 4.60869 ± 0.00005 h and lightcurve amplitude of 0.65 ± 0.03 mag. The presumed satellite has an orbital period of 24.05 ± 0.02 h and maximum lightcurve amplitude of 0.07 mag. The secondary lightcurve showed no mutual events and seems to indicate that the satellite's rotation is tidally locked to its orbital period.
对近地小行星(154244)2002 KL6的电荷耦合器件(CCD)光度观测分析表明,它可能是一个双星系统。假定的主星会合自转周期为4.60869±0.00005小时,光变曲线振幅为0.65±0.03星等。假定的卫星轨道周期为24.05±0.02小时,最大光变曲线振幅为0.07星等。次光变曲线未显示相互事件,似乎表明卫星的自转被潮汐锁定在其轨道周期上。
