4029 Bridges (1982 KC1) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on May 24, 1982 by American astronomer Carolyn Shoemaker at Palomar Observatory.[1]
Photometric observations of this asteroid during 2006 revealed that this is a binary asteroid with an orbital period of 16.31 ± 0.01 hours. The larger component has a rotation period of 3.5746 ± 0.0001 hours and a brightness variation of 0.20 magnitude. Based upon occultations of the primary, the ratio of their dimensions is 0.24 ± 0.02.[2]
