In summer 1999, we performed a survey optimized for discovery of irregular satellites of Uranus and Neptune. We imaged 11.85 square degrees of sky and discovered 66 new outer solar system objects (not counting the three new uranian satellites). Given the very short orbital arcs of our observations, only the heliocentric distance can be reliably...

We report the orbital distribution of the trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) discovered during the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey (CFEPS), whose discovery phase ran from early 2003 until early 2007. The follow-up observations started just after the first discoveries and extended until late 2009. We obtained characterized observations of 321...
orbit determination of 2001 QW 322 , a Kuiper Belt binary with a very large separation whose properties challenge binary-formation and evolution theories. Six years of tracking indicate that the binary's mutual orbit period is ≈25-30 years, that the orbit pole is retrograde and inclined 50-62 • from the ecliptic plane, and, most surprisingly,...
