Scientific paper

Our recent discovery of a planetary-sized body in the inner Oort cloud presents the opportunity for quick low-cost survey of this extremely interesting object. With just 2 orbits we will be able to independently determine the size of this object, definitely determine if satellites exist, and search for the shortest timescale photometric variations. As little is known about this body, it is difficult to predict what results will come from these observations, but it is clear that such an object deserves observations at the high resolution that only HST can provide.
