A SEARCH FOR SUB-km KUIPER BELT OBJECTS WITH THE METHOD OF SERENDIPITOUS STELLAR OCCULTATIONS
Abstract
The results of a search for sub-km Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) with the method of serendipitous stellar occultations are reported. Photometric time series were obtained on the 1.8 m telescope at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO) in Victoria, British Columbia, and were analyzed for the presence of occultation events. Observations were performed at 40 Hz and included a total of 5.0 star-hours for target stars in the ecliptic open …
