5283 Pyrrhus /ˈpɪrəs/ is a large Jupiter trojan from the Greek camp, approximately 65 kilometers (40 miles) in diameter.

He brutally killed King Priam and several other princes during the destruction of the city of Troy, and took away Hector's wife, Andromache, as his prize.

[9] In September 1996, the first photometric observations Pyrrhus were obtained by Italian astronomer Stefano Mottola using the Bochum 0.61-metre Telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile.

Follow-up observation by Mottola at the Calar Alto Observatory with its 1.2-meter telescope in March 2002 gave a rotation period of 7.323±0.003 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.11 magnitude (U=2).

[5][6][7] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.0564 and a diameter of 64.26 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 9.7.
