Scientific paper

Photoelectric U, B, V photometry of Pluto during 1982-1983 is combined with all previous photoelectric observations (1953-1983) to yield a more accurate rotation period: P = 6.38663 + or - 0.00006 d. Substantial reddening occurs at maximum light (phases 0.6-0.7). The 'secular' variation of Pluto's mean brightness is compatible with the proposed 124-yr cycle.
