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,…

On the detectability of lightcurves of Kuiper Belt objects
Pedro Lacerda, Jane Luu
We present a statistical study of the detectability of lightcurves of Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs). Some Kuiper Belt objects display lightcurves that appear "flat", i.e., there are n…
