The Kuiper belt provides a valuable window into the processes of planet formation. We will conduct observations of the luminosity and orbital distributions of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) to provide a detailed picture of this region of the solar system. These observational campaigns will make use the Canada France Hawaii Telescope, the GEMINI telescopes as well as supporting observations from an array of facilities. Specific projects include:

柯伊伯带提供了一个了解行星形成过程的宝贵窗口。 我们将对柯伊伯带天体（KBO）的光度和轨道分布进行观测，以提供太阳系这一区域的详细图像。 这些观测活动将利用加拿大-法国夏威夷望远镜、GEMINI望远镜以及一系列设施的辅助观测。 具体项目包括：
