This database contains astrometric, photometric and dynamical information on all characterized objects detected during the Canada-France Ecliptic Survey (CFEPS) and the High Ecliptic Latitude survey (HiLat) conducted at CFHT with MegaPrime for the discovery part and many different facilities for the tracking part (see Kavelaars et al. 2009, AJ, 137, 4917 and Petit et al. 2011, AJ, in press for meaning of characterized).
In the following forms, you will have access to various informations about these objects. By default, you will get access to the objects detected by CFEPS and with good orbits. When applicable, you will have the opportunity to select which survey you want to use (field "Survey"). In addition to CFEPS, you have the possibility to choose HiLat, CFEPSnt or HiLatnt, the last 2 corresponding to non-tracked objects in CFEPS and HiLat respectively. Non-tracked objects have poor orbit determination or no orbit determination at all.
For objects with good orbits (surveys CFEPS and HiLat), you can also specify which dynamical class you are interested in (see Gladman, Marsden and Laerhoven, 2008, in The Solar System beyond Neptune book for explanation of dynamical classification) using field "Dyn. class".
