Densities of Solar System Objects from their Rotational Lightcurves
Pedro Lacerda, David Jewitt
We present models of the shapes of four Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) and Jovian Trojan (624) Hektor as ellipsoidal figures of equilibrium and Roche binaries. Our simulations select t…

Analysis of the rotational properties of Kuiper belt objects
Pedro Lacerda, Jane Luu
We use optical data on 10 Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) to investigate their rotational properties. Of the 10, three (30%) exhibit light variations with amplitude delta_m >= 0.15 mag,…
