627 Charis is a minor planet orbiting the Sun that was discovered by German astronomer August Kopff on March 4, 1907 from Heidelberg.[3] It was named after the goddess Charis, the wife of Hephaestus from Greek mythology.[4]
Photometric observations of this asteroid at the Organ Mesa Observatory in Las Cruces, New Mexico during 2012 gave a light curve with a period of 27.888 ± 0.002 hours and a brightness variation of 0.35 ± 0.02 in magnitude.[2]
