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,…
UBVRI Light Curves of 44 Type Ia Supernovae
Saurabh Jha, Robert P. Kirshner, Peter Challis +2
We present UBVRI photometry of 44 type-Ia supernovae (SN Ia) observed from 1997 to 2001 as part of a continuing monitoring campaign at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory of the…
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…
Large Bodies in the Kuiper Belt
Chadwick A. Trujillo, Jane X. Luu, Amanda S. Bosh +1
We present a survey for bright Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) and Centaurs, conducted at the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) 0.9 m telescope with the KPNO 8k Mosaic CCD. The surv…
Colors and Spectra of Kuiper Belt Objects
D. C. Jewitt, J. X. Luu
We present new measurements of the optical colors of Kuiper Belt Objects, principally from the Keck 10-m telescope. The measurements confirm the existence of a wide spread in the B…
Properties of the Trans-Neptunian Belt: Statistics From the CFHT Survey
Chadwick A. Trujillo, David C. Jewitt, Jane X. Luu
We present the results of a wide-field survey designed to measure the size, inclination, and radial distributions of Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs). The survey found 86 KBOs in 73 squa…
