The authors of the new work used data from the Dark Energy Survey: it was carried out in 2013-2019 to study how
Also, the accuracy of the equipment allows you to useit and for the search for trans-Neptunian objects (TNO). Earlier, in 2020, astronomers found 139 previously unknown TNOs using the Dark Energy Survey. And in the new catalog, the authors of the work counted 817 TNOs, of which 461 objects were not previously recorded by astronomers.
TNO are ice bodies whose trajectories are almost non-existent.have changed since the formation of the solar system. They are usually very distant from the Earth, so it is not easy to find such bodies. To date, scientists have found about three thousand TNOs.
Such a large number of TNOs will help astronomersunderstand the past of the solar system. Also, look into why the orbits of some TNOs are unusually distorted: this may be related to the mysterious Planet Nine. You can read more about how scientists are searching for Planet Nine at this link.
