Scientific paper

The strategy of the project was to: (1) analyze light curves of Pluto-Charon mutual eclipse event light curves to derive models of the Pluto-Charon system; (2) use these results in planning and reducing HST observations tentatively scheduled to be obtained in Aug. 1991 to determine Pluto-Charon mass ratio; and (3) obtain visual and IR photometry of selected asteroids to help determine their albedos, sizes, shapes, pole orientations, taxonomic classes, and phase functions.
