Physics

Scientific paper

Since 1992, more than 1300 Transneptunian Objects (TNOs) have been discovered. One can cite various observational approaches to study the physical properties of these bodies. Our own approach to understand this kind of objects is to study their rotations by monitoring their brightness variations ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]). By studying the rotational properties of the TNOs a wealth of information can be obtained on their physics, like has been done for the asteroids for many decades. Therefore, the study of the spins and shapes of TNOs is a very powerful method of gaining information on the Kuiper Belt.
