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 18 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.  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.  Hainaut, O.R., C. E. Delahodde, H. Boehnhardt, E. Dotto, M. A. Barucci, K. J. Meech, J. M. Bauer, R. M. West, A. Doressoundiram 2000. Physical Properties of TNO 1996 TO66 - Lightcurves and Possible Cometary Activity. A and A 356, 1076-1088.  Sheppard, S.S., and David C. Jewitt 2002. Time-resolved photometry of Kuiper belt objects: Rotations, shapes and phase functions. A.J. 124, 1757-1775.  Data :  The lightcurves from each paper are in a separate file, because of differences in the types of data reported. Each data file includes 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.  Three of the files give R-band lightcurves, and the fourth gives color index lightcurves in B-R, V-R, and R-I.  Modification History :  In 2012, the data files were split into separate files, one for each lightcurve, to facilitate loading the data into the SBN data ferret. The version number of the data set was incremented to V1.1.

Confidence Level Overview : This data set underwent external peer review on May 29, 2003.
