Physical properties

5751 Zao has been observed by several groups to determine its rotational period. Its light curve was observed by Pravec, et al. between 1992 and 1995 with the intention of determining its rotational period. From its nearly constant brightness it was determined that the asteroid is roughly spherical and has a rotational period of ≥ 21.7 hr.Cite journal | title = The Near-Earth Objects Follow-Up Program | first = P. | last = Pravec | coauthors = et al. | journal = Icarus | date = December 1997 | volume = 130 | issue = 2 | pages = 275–286 | url = http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6WGF-45SJBFT-5&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=b74415a70313fc51e07a8a4fa4f16f12 | doi = 10.1006/icar.1997.5816] Another group led by Wisniewski conducted an approximately 5 hour observation and were unable to conclude a rotational period.Cite journal | title = Photometric Observations of 125 Asteroids | first = W.

They were able to determine the asteroid's albedo of 0.36 and re-classify the asteroid from X-type to E-type.Cite journal | title = Keck observations of near-Earth asteroids in the thermal infrared | first = Marco | last = Delbó | coauthors = Harris, Alan W.; Binzel, Richard P.; Pravec, Petr; Davies, John K. | date = November 2003 | journal = Icarus | volume = 166 | issue = 1 | pages = 116–130 | url = http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6WGF-49KH00F-3&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=08097bf4771903e0aaf6b7aa2933b06c | doi = 10.1016/j.icarus.2003.07.002] Using the asteroid's albedo and the Near Earth Asteroid Thermal Model (NEATM) the asteroid's diameter was estimated to be 2.3 km. Further study of the asteroid by the Ondrejov Asteroid Photometry Project concludes that a rotational period of 76 hours is consistent with earlier measurements.Cite web | title = Ondrejov Asteroid Photometry Project: Summary of Prepublished Data | url = http://www.asu.cas.cz/~ppravec/neo.html] Cite web | title = 5751 Zao | publisher = European Asteroid Research Node | url = http://earn.dlr.de/nea/005751.htm]
