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. (2003, Astron. Astrophys. 407, 1139) 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. (2003, Icarus 165, 101).
