New multi-band photometry of the minimoon 2024 PT5 yields a first albedo of 0.26±0.07, a diameter of 7.4±1.0 m, and tentative evidence for tumbling rotation, consistent with a lunar-ejecta origin.

Multi-epoch spectro-photometric characterization of the minimoon 2024 PT$_5$ in the visible and near-infrared
New multi-band photometry of the minimoon 2024 PT5 yields a first albedo of 0.26±0.07, a diameter of 7.4±1.0 m, and tentative evidence for tumbling rotation, consistent with a lunar-ejecta origin.
