(6090) 1989 DJ

(6090) 1989 DJ is a Jupiter Trojan minor planet. A part of the Greek camp, it lies at the L₄ Lagrangian point. It was discovered by Henri Debehogne at the La Silla Observatory in Chile on February 27, 1989.

Photometric observations of this asteroid during 2009 were used to build a light curve showing a rotation period of 18.476 ± 0.007 hours with a brightness variation of 0.16 ± 0.01 magnitude.^[1]
