Scientific paper

We have imaged 0.02 square degrees of sky near the invariable plane in an HST/ACS search for faint Kuiper Belt Objects. We obtained superior time resolution and high accuracy photometry for 00FV53, a known KBO included in the field, and for our newly discovered KBOs. All our observed KBOs show photometric variation with amplitudes ranging from a few percent up to 50% of the KBO's mean photometric value. We will present our derived light curves for all detected KBOs together with some implications for the physical constraints (shape, rotation rate, albedo variations) that can be derived from our data.
