Narayan and Linda M. French* Department of Physics, Illinois Wesleyan University We present the first results from multi wavelength observations of the nucleus of the unusual Comet P/LINEAR 34. Formerly classified as asteroid 2002 CEl O, observations by the Japanese Subaru telescope determined that it had a characteristic tail. We observed the object in visible, near-IR, and mid-IR wavelengths using the 0.9-m telescope at Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) during October 2003 . In addition, we observed Asteroids 2067 Aksnes, 2363 Cebriones, 1 523 1 Ehdita and 279 Thule. We hope to determine the rotation period and constrain the shape of the objects.
