Title: Simultaneous Visible and Near-Infrared
Time Resolved Observations of the
Outer Solar System Object
(29981) 1999 TD10
Abstract:
The outer solar system object (29981) 1999 TD10 was observed simultaneously
in the R, and J and H bands in September 2001, and in B, V, R, and I in
October 2002. We derive B-V=0.80+/-0.05 mag, V-R=0.48+/-0.05 mag,
R-I=0.44+/-0.05 mag, R-J=1.24+/-0.05 mag, and J-H=0.61+/-0.07 mag. Combining
our data with the data
from Rousselot et al. (Astron. Astrophys. 407, 1139, 2003) we derive a synodic
period of 15.382+/-0.001 hr in agreement with the period from Rousselot et al.
Our observations at the same time, with better S/N and seeing, show no
evidence
of a coma, contrary to the claim by Choi et al. (Icarus 165, 101, 2003).
