Abstract
Broad band CCD observations focused on short-term rotational variability have been carried out for six TNOs: 1999 TD 1 0 , 1999 TC 3 6 , 2000 EB 1 7 3 , (20000) Varuna, (28978) Ixion, 2002 CR 4 6 , and four Centaurs: 2000 QC 2 4 3 , 2001 PT 1 3 , 2002 PN 3 4 and 2002 GO 9 using the 1.5 m telescope at Sierra Nevada Observatory (Granada, Spain) since mid 2001. Three of the bodies exhibit periodic double-peaked lightcurves with amplitudes larger than 0.4 mag while another four show periodic variability with amplitudes below 0.20 mag. Basic physical properties of these objects can be derived or constrained from the observations. Here we present a summary of the main results obtained for these objects.
