An Extremely Deep Rubin Survey to Explore the Extended Kuiper Belt and Identify Objects Observable by New Horizons

A proposed Vera C. Rubin Observatory deep-drilling microsurvey of the Kuiper Belt will investigate key properties of the distant solar system. Utilizing 30 hr of Rubin time across six 5 hr visits over 1 yr starting in summer 2026, the survey aims to discover and determine orbits for up to 730 Kuiper...
