    1207 Ostenia (1931 VT) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on November 15, 1931 by K. Reinmuth at Heidelberg.

    Photometric observations of the asteroid during 2006 at the Palmer Divide Observatory in Colorado Springs, Colorado, were used to generate a light curve with a period of 9.073 ± 0.004 hours and a variation in brightness of 0.60 ± 0.02 magnitude.[1]
