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.
