607 Jenny is aminor planet, specifically anasteroid orbiting in theasteroid belt that was discovered by German astronomerAugust Kopff on September 18, 1906.
Like608 Adolfine it was named after Jenny Adolfine Kessler, a friend of the astronomer.[2]
Photometric observations of this asteroid at Palmer Divide Observatory inColorado Springs, Colorado during 2007 gave alight curve with a period of 8.524 ± 0.005 hours and a brightness variation of 0.21 ± 0.03 inmagnitude. Results reported in 2003 giving a period of 7.344 hours were deemed the result of a data ambiguity.[3]
