Phase Curves of Kuiper Belt Objects, Centaurs, and Jupiter-family Comets from the ATLAS Survey
Abstract The Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs), the Centaurs, and the Jupiter-family comets (JFCs) form an evolutionary continuum of small outer solar system objects, and their study allows us to gain insight into the history and evolution of the solar system. Broadband photometry can be used to measure their phase curves, …
