2674 Pandarus /ˈpændərəs/ is a large Jupiter trojan from the Trojan camp, approximately 98 kilometers (60 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 27 January 1982, by astronomers at Harvard's Oak Ridge Observatory near Harvard, Massachusetts, in the United States.[1] The likely elongated D-type asteroid has a rotation period of 8.48 hours and belongs to the 50 largest Jupiter trojans.[4] It was named after Pandarus from Greek mythology.[1]
