U.S.A., report that photometric observations obtained during Jan. 8-30 reveal
that minor planet (99913) is a binary system with an orbital period of 14.68
hr.  The primary shows a period of 2.83507 +/- 0.00002 hr, and it has a
lightcurve amplitude of 0.19 mag.  Mutual eclipse/occultation events that are
0.033- and 0.042-magnitude deep indicate a secondary-to-primary mean-diameter
ratio of 0.19 +/- 0.02.
