ESO large program on physical studies of Transneptunian Objects and Centaurs: Visible photometry – First results

Abstract: Abstract. We present the first results of BVRI photometry of Transneptunian Objects (TNOs) and Centaurs obtained through the ESO Large Program on physical studies of these icy bodies in the outer solar system. In total 28 objects were observed of which 18 are new measurements. Combining our new BVRI photometry with the data summary published by Hainaut & Delsanti (2002) results in a database of 94 objects: 45 Cubewanos, 22 Plutinos, 13 scattered disk objects, 14 Centaurs. The reddening range seems to be simila… Show more

“…This spectral variety confirms the results obtained by several authors from their photometric investigation on a larger sample of TNOs and Centaurs (Luu & Jewitt 1996;Barucci et al 2000;Doressoundiram et al 2001Doressoundiram et al , 2002Jewitt & Luu 2001;Delsanti et al 2001;Tegler & Romanishin 2000;Boehnhardt et al 2002;McBride et al 2003). Tegler & Romanishin (1998), from their TNOs and Centaurs color analysis conclude that two distinct populations exist, one having neutral to slightly red colors, and one with the reddest objects known in the Solar System.…”

“…To investigate the surface properties of these primitive objects a large program was started at ESO (in Cerro Paranal and La Silla) to observe them with visible and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy during April 2001 to March 2003. Photometric data has allowed the study of the colour behaviour for more than 100 objects and statistical analysis of colour variations with orbital parameters (Boehnhardt et al 2002;Peixinho et al 2003;Peixinho et al 2004). Spectroscopy has allowed the investigation of the surface properties and composition Lazzarin et al 2002;Dotto et al 2002;.…”

“…Current observational studies of TNOs are mainly focused on color photometry or spectroscopy (e.g. Jewitt & Luu 2001;Boehnhardt et al 2002;Barucci et al 2002;Hainaut & Delsanti 2002;Doressoundiram et al 2002Doressoundiram et al , 2005Delsanti et al 2004;Peixinho et al 2004;Fornasier et al 2004;etc.). Some of these studies use statistical analysis to try to find likely correlations between color trends and orbital parameters.…”
