    1985 Hopmann (1929 AE) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on January 13, 1929 by Reinmuth, K. at Heidelberg. Photometric measurements made from the Oakley Southern Sky Observatory during 2012 gave a light curve with a period of 17.478 ± 0.004 hours and a variation in brightness of 0.34 ± 0.04 in magnitude. Within the margin of error, this result is consistent with a synodic period estimate of 17.480 ± 0.002 hours made in by an independent investigator.[1]
