NEA (23187) 2000 PN9 lightcurves

We present a physical model and spin-state analysis of the potential ly hazardous asteroid (23187) 2000 PN9. As part of a long-term campaign to make direct detections of the YORP effect, we collected optical lightcurves of the asteroid between 2006 and 2020. These observations were combined with planetary radar data to develop a detailed shape model which was used to search for YORP acceleration. We report that 2000 PN9 is a relatively large top-shaped body with a sidereal rotation period of 2.53216+/-0.00015h. Although we find no evidence for rotational acceleration, YORP torques smaller than ~10^-8^rad/day^2^ cannot be ruled out. It is likely that 2000 PN9 is a YORP-evolved object, and may be an example of YORP equilibrium or self limitation.
