1867 Deiphobus (1971 EA) is a large 123 km Jupiter Trojan discovered on March 3, 1971 by Carlos Ulrrico Cesco and Samuel, A. at El Leoncito.
Photometric observations of this asteroid during 1994 were used to build a light curve showing a slow rotation period of 58.66 ± 0.18 hours with a brightness variation of 0.27 ± 0.03 magnitude.[1]
