1749 Telamon /ˈtɛləmɒn/ is a dark Jupiter Trojan from the Greek camp, approximately 70 kilometers (43 miles) in diameter. It was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at the Heidelberg Observatory on 23 September 1949,[1] and named after Telamon from Greek mythology.[3] The D-type asteroid is the principal body of the proposed Telamon family and belongs to the 60 largest Jupiter trojans. It has a rotation period of 17.0 hours and possibly a spherical shape.[5]
