    1301 Yvonne (1934 EA) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on March 7, 1934 by Louis Boyer at Algiers.[1]

    Photometric observations made in 2003 at the Carbuncle Hill Observatory near Providence, Rhode Island give a synodic rotation period of 7.320 ± 0.005 hours. The light curve shows a brightness variation of 0.60 ± 0.03 in magnitude.[4]
