Data Set Overview : The dataset includes available data on imaging polarimetry of the Centaur 2060 Chiron, TNOs 28978 Ixion, 29981 (1999 TD10), 50000 Quaoar and the dwarf planet 136199 Eris obtained with the VLT and published by Boehnhardt et al. (2004), Rousselot et al. (2005), Bagnulo et al. (2006), and Belskaya et al. (2008). The results of polarimetric observations of the Pluto-Charon system were also included. Pluto's polarimetric observations were made in 1972-1988 and published by Kelsey and Fix (1973), Breger and Cochran (1982) and Avramchuk et al. (1992).
