Abstract.

In the framework of the Science Verification of the first 8.2-m telescope of ESO’s Very Large Telescope, several TNOs were observed in order to measure their magnitude and colors. We present and discuss these results.

Based on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory, Paranal, Chile (VLT-UT1 Science Verification Program)
