Scientific paper

We have measured the optical and infrared colors of five Kuiper belt
objects to search for evidence of spectral diversity among these bodies.
We find extreme differences, especially in the measured V - J color
indices, that indicate a wide range of surface compositions in the
Kuiper belt.
