... We have designed a survey using 560 hours of Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) time over four years to provide hundreds of new trans-Neptunian objects with exquisitely characterised, high-precision orbits. This new wide-field optical survey began observations with CFHT MegaPrime in February 2013, and by its conclusion in 2016 aims to have doubled the number of trans-Neptunian objects suitable for testing models of Solar System history. ...
