Abstract:
We present photometric observations of the Kuiper-Belt object 1999
TD10 at different phase angles and for three different broad band
filters (B, V and R). This object was observed with the Danish 1.54-m
telescope of ESO in Chile during six different observing nights
corresponding to a phase angle of 0.30, 0.37, 0.92, 3.43, 3.48 and
3.66°. Extra observations were obtained in September 2002 with the
VLT UT1/FORS1 combination to confirm that 1999 TD10 does not exhibit
any cometary activity, and in October 2001 with the Sierra Nevada
Observatory 1.50-m telescope in order to add relative magnitudes to
improve the determination of the rotation period.
