We present observations of the Centaur 5145 Pholus from January 2000 to August 2000. A rotational lightcurve was assembled from both V and R measurements, confirming previous period determinations of 0.416 day but exhibiting an amplitude over twice as high as previously measured. This lightcurve was
Results of the first polarimetric observations of Centaurs (5145) Pholus and (10199) Chariklo, and new observations of (2060) Chiron are presented together with the estimates of their absolute magnitudes. Observations were carried out at the 8 m ESO Very Large Telescope in 2007-2008. They revealed n
No known body in the Solar System has a spectrum redder than that of object 5145 Pholus. We use Hapke scattering theory and optical constants measured in this laboratory to examine the ability of mixtures of a number of organic solids and ices to reproduce the observed spectrum and phase variation.
