4362 Carlisle, provisional designation: 1978 PR4, is a stony Flora asteroid and binary system from the inner regions of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 1 August 1978, by staff members of the Perth Observatory at Bickley, Western Australia.[1] The asteroid measures approximately 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) in diameter, has a short rotation period of 2.6 hours, and is likely spheroidal in shape. It was named in memory of Australian meteorite hunter Albert Carlisle (1917–1993).[2] In June 2021, the discovery of a companion with an orbital period of 1.8 days and a diameter no less than a third of its primary, was announced.[6]
