DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview : This data set includes a collection of published lightcurves of trans-Neptunian objects published through December 2002. The collection includes lightcurves of 16 objects reported in the following papers: Collander-Brown, S.J., A. Fitzsimmons, E. Fletcher, M.J. Irwin and I.P. Williams 1999. Light curves of the Trans-Neptunian Objects 1996 TP66 and 1994 VK8. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 308, 588. [COLLBROWNETAL1999] Collander-Brown, S.J., A. Fitzsimmons, E. Fletcher, M.J. Irwin, and I.P. Williams 2001. The scattered trans-neptunian object 1998 XY95. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 325, 972. [COLLBROWNETAL2001] Hainaut, O.R., C. E.

[SHEPPARD&JEWITT2002] Data : Each lightcurve is in a separate file, including the time of observation in Julian Date, the magnitude and/or color index reported for that time, and other parameters of the observation including exposure time. Error values on the measurements are included where available.
