Photometry of Kuiper Belt Objects in Inner and Outer Mean Motion Resonances with Neptune
The Astronomical JournalWe present a time-resolved photometric survey of Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) trapped in the inner and outer Neptune resonances. Lightcurves and rotational properties provide constraints on the shapes, internal structures, collisional histories, and ...
