Notes. The top part of the table shows: object name; α: phase angle range of observations utilized in the determination of H; N: number of available observations; β: linear phase coefficient; HV: absolute magnitude in the V band with respective uncertainty; photometry references; Δmag: optical lightcurve amplitude (peak-to-peak); Ice?: information on the presence of ices, if available (discoveries in parentheses are tentative); LC & Ice Ref.: lightcurve and ice references. The lower part of the table shows different color indices for our sample objects, where available, including uncertainties, and the spectral slope s in percent of reddening per 100 nm as determined from the given color information following Hainaut & Delsanti (2002), and references. The weighted sample mean (cf. Table 3) of each color index is given for comparison, as well as some color indices of the Sun. We determine the weighted mean  ⟨ x ⟩  of quantities xi using the absolute uncertainties σi as weighting parameter. The uncertainty of  ⟨ x ⟩ , σ, is calculated as Defined this way, σ is a combination of the weighted root mean square and the weighted standard deviation of the uncertainties.

(a)

Original photometric uncertainty is smaller than the half peak-to-peak lightcurve amplitude: new value is ;

(b)

converted R band data;

(c)

regression analysis leads to an unrealistic phase coefficient, adopt instead phase coefficient from Belskaya et al. (2008);

(d)

phase coefficient adopted from Buie et al. (1997).
