Scientific paper

We are measuring the long-term light curves of several Kuiper Belt Objects and Centaurs using the queue-scheduled 1.3 m telescope of the SMARTS consortium [1] at Cerro Telolo. Since February of 2002, we have measured the Johnson B, V, and I colors of (50000) Quaoar, (28978) Ixion, 2002 AW197, 2002 PN34, and 2002 GZ32 at 2-day intervals. Here we report preliminary results for Quaoar and Ixion, and compare them to our previous results for (38628) Huya = 2000 EB173 and for Nereid.
