Spahr for providing precise optical astrometry of Golevka; and S. Hudson for providing his shape reconstruction software. This research was conducted in part at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology under a contract with NASA. Additional support was provided by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic. The Arecibo Observatory is part of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, which is operated by Cornell University under a cooperative agreement with NSF and with support from NASA.
