    Pedro Lacerda

    Newton Fellow

    I am an astronomer at Queen's University of Belfast.

    I study physical properties of small solar system objects, mainly Kuiper belt objects (KBOs), Centaurs, comets and Trojan asteroids. In particular, I am interested in the rotational properties of these bodies and what we can learn from them.
