摘要
We report on observations of the Kuiper-Belt Objects, 1993 SC and 1996 TL66 using the European Space Agency's Infrared Space Observatory. The measurements indicate a first detection of 1993 SC at 90 microns and yield a measurement of the radius of 164 (+/-35) km and a geometric albedo of 0.022 (+/-0.013). For 1996 TL66, an effective radius of 316(+/-49) km and a geometric albedo of 0.030(+/-0.015) have been derived although, in this case, it cannot be ruled out that the signal is not actually from the KBO. This paper represents a brief report of an article published more fully elsewhere [13].
