Abstract:
    We present photometric observations of the Kuiper-Belt object 1999
    TD10 at different phase angles and for three different broad band
    filters (B, V and R). This object was observed with the Danish 1.54-m
    telescope of ESO in Chile during six different observing nights
    corresponding to a phase angle of 0.30, 0.37, 0.92, 3.43, 3.48 and
    3.66°. Extra observations were obtained in September 2002 with the
    VLT UT1/FORS1 combination to confirm that 1999 TD10 does not exhibit
    any cometary activity, and in October 2001 with the Sierra Nevada
    Observatory 1.50-m telescope in order to add relative magnitudes to
    improve the determination of the rotation period.
