Colors and magnitudes were compiled from the papers listed in the
mbossRef file available on the table page. The full references are
available in the mbossBib file on that page.
The relevant papers were identified using the following resources:
- The "Distant
EKO" pages (by Joel Parker), and the corresponding newsletter,
were --and continue to be-- very valuable for this work.
- Another very valuable source is C. Neese's compilations
of TNO and Centaur colors, at NASA's Planetary Data System. They are
available at
this link,
and the formal reference of the current version is "Neese, C., Ed.,
TNO and Centaur Colors V8.0. EAR-A-COMPIL-3-TNO-CEN-COLOR-V8.0. NASA
Planetary Data System, 2011."
- The "Besançon
photometric database for
Kuiper-Belt Objects and Centaurs", maintained by Ph. Rousselot.
- The arXiv astro-ph e-print service.
