A deep survey of the Kuiper belt.
The Kuiper belt, the population of small icy planetesimals orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune, offers an exciting new avenue for studying the formation and evolution of the Solar System.

The Curiously Warped Mean Plane of the Kuiper Belt
We measured the mean plane of the Kuiper Belt as a function of semimajor axis. For the classical Kuiper Belt as a whole (the nonresonant objects in the semimajor axis range 42-48 au), we find a mean plane of inclination i(m) = 1 degrees.8(-0 degrees.4 ...

Determining The Plane of The Kuiper Belt with OSSOS
International audienceWe present the OSSOS-based measurement of the semi-major axes dependent orientation of the Kuiper Belt plane. A Kuiper Belt object's (KBO's) inclination can be broken down into a forced component and a free component.

Collision Probabilities in the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt
International audienceWe present results on the intrinsic collision probabilities, PI, and range of collision speeds, Vi, as a function of the heliocentric distance, in the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt (EKB).
