Light curves of Kuiper Belt objects and a search for Kuiper Belt binaries
We analyze photometric images taken with the Magellan Telescopes in Chile to search for faint moons of known Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs). Although we obtain a null result (zero detections), we are able to estimate an upper limit on the frequency of moons ...

Near Infrared Spectra of Centaurs and Kuiper Belt Objects
We present here an extensive survey of near infrared spectra of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) and Centaurs taken with the Keck I Telescope. We find that most spectra in our sample are well characterized by a combination of water ice and a featureless ...

A study of Binary Kuiper Belt objects
We estimate the frequency of widely spaced (separations greater than 0Љ .5) Kuiper Belt binaries (KBBs) from surveys for new Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) with the Deep Ecliptic Survey and through recovery observations for newly discovered KBOs at the ...
