4707 Khryses /ˈkrsz/ is a larger Jupiter trojan from the Trojan camp, approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 13 August 1988, by American astronomer Carolyn Shoemaker at the Palomar Observatory in California.[1] The assumed C-type asteroid has a rotation period 6.9 hours and likely an elongated shape.[6] It was named after the Trojan priest Chryses (Khryseis) from Greek mythology.[1]
