Abstract
CCD photometric observations of the near-Earth asteroid (6053) 1993 BW3 were made at the Center for Solar System Studies-Palmer Divide Station (CS3-PDS) in 2015 January and March. Analysis of the individual and combined data sets produced a period on the order of 2.8 hours. This differs significantly from the results of Pravec et al. (1997; P = 2.573 h) and from shape models by Durech (2002) and Kaasalainen (2002). While this discordance is not resolved, the 2.573 h value has the greatest amount of data supporting it, and for now, remains the favored period solution.
