The Size Distribution of Kuiper belt objects for D> 10 km
W. C. Fraser, J. J. Kavelaars
We have performed a survey of the Kuiper belt covering ~ 1/3 a square degree of the sky using Suprime-cam on the Subaru telescope, to a limiting magnitude of m(R)~ 26.8 (50% thresh…
A Derivation of the Luminosity Function of the Kuiper Belt from a Broken Power-Law Size Distribution
W. C. Fraser, JJ. Kavelaars
We have derived a model of the Kuiper belt luminosity function exhibited by a broken power-law size distribution. This model allows direct comparison of the observed luminosity fun…
The Kuiper Belt Luminosity Function from m(R)=21 to 26
W. C. Fraser, JJ Kavelaars, M. J. Holman +6
We have performed an ecliptic imaging survey of the Kuiper belt with our deepest and widest field achieving a limiting flux of m(g') = 26.4, with a sky coverage of 3.0 square-degre…
Optically Selected GRB Afterglows, a Real Time Analysis System at the CFHT
Frederic Malacrino, Jean-Luc Atteia, Michel Boer +4
We attempt to detect optical GRB afterglows on images taken by the Canada France Hawaii Telescope for the Very Wide survey, component of the Legacy Survey. To do so, a Real Time An…
The Short Rotation Period of Nereid
T. Grav, M. J. Holman, JJ. Kavelaars
We determine the period, p = 11.52 \pm 0.14 h, and a light curve peak-to-peak amplitude, a = 0.029 \pm 0.003 magnitudes, of the Neptunian irregular satellite Nereid. If the light c…
Pencil-Beam Surveys for Faint Trans-Neptunian Objects
Brett Gladman, JJ Kavelaars, Philip D. Nicholson +2
We have conducted pencil-beam searches for outer solar system objects to a limiting magnitude of R ~ 26. Five new trans-neptunian objects were detected in these searches. Our combi…
