Abstract
We present multi-color photometric and spectroscopic observations of C/2002 CE10. The derived diameter and the geometric albedo are 11.4 (+0.9/-0.8)km and 0.02 (+0.006/-0.003), respectively. From the photometric analysis in BVRI, its surface color are in the taxonomy of D-type. From the time-resolved differential photometry, rotational period is determined to be 8.187 hrs.Consequently, this object is very dark, red and a very inactive cometary nucleus. Information on such minor body allow us to investigate evolutional link between comets and asteroids.
