CHIMERA Occultation Constraints on the Abundance of Kilometer-scale Kuiper Belt Objects

CHIMERA Occultation Constraints on the Abundance of Kilometer-scale Kuiper Belt Objects

Occultations provide indirect sensitivity to the number density of small Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) too faint to directly detect telescopically. We present results from the Caltech HI-speed Multicolor camERA (CHIMERA) survey with the Palomar Hale Telescope, which monitored stars over the central $5^...
