We summarize the number of partial, flat, and full in the 2:1 resonance (left plot). On the right, the bubble size varies with the object’s absolute magnitude. There is no obvious trend between lightcurve variability and absolute magnitude. Binaries display a larger amplitude than single objects. The two large amplitude TNOs found by our survey are indicated.
