Abstract

The "TNO Search Field" images are the sidereally summed images of a search for trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) using the Wide Field Camera of the HST/ACS instrument. The observations were taken under Cycle 11 program GO-9433, "The Size Distribution of Kuiper Belt Bodies," with G. Bernstein as PI. The TNO search consisted of approximately 96x400 s exposures in the F606W filter for each of six contiguous ACS fields of view. The TNO search field is approximately 6'x10', centered near 14h 07M 53.3s -11d 21' 38" (J2000).
