Scientific paper

Photoelectric observations of Pluto's light curve were made on 19 nights during the 1983 opposition. High time-resolution measurements of both syzygy phases made on a total of six nights in April, May, and June showed no evidence for eclipses between Pluto and its satellite. These syzygy observations occurred over an illumination phase-angle range of greater than 1 deg, and overlapping rotational phases were used to compute a phase coefficient of 0.041 + or - 0.003 mag/deg.
