In September 2010, a rotational lightcurve of Jole was obtained from photometric observations by Daniel Coley at the DanHenge Observatory (U80) at the Center for Solar System Studies. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 9.615±0.005 hours with a brightness variation of 0.37±0.02magnitude (U=3).[8][a]
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), Jole measures 5.757±0.062 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.194±0.028.[6][7] Alternative mean-diameters published by the WISE team includes (5.142±0.038 km) and (5.62±0.17 km) with corresponding albedos of (0.2402±0.0283) and (0.293±0.029).[5][10] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo for a Florian asteroid of 0.24 and calculates a diameter of 6.21 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 13.2.[10]
