Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are believed to be key to understanding the evolution of the outer Solar System. Compositional and dynamical information are needed in order to decipher their history. We present a new TNOs taxonomy based on colors and visible albedo measurements from the literature. The new taxonomy is calculated from a photometric database and obtained with a clustering tool analogous to the ones used in the past. The addition of albedo, however, shows dramatically different results, substantiated by modeling of the independent taxa. We present the new taxonomy and its composition deduced from modeling. We discuss the implications for the history of the outer Solar System.
