Scientific paper

The Taiwan-America Occultation Survey (TAOS) will conduct a census of the number of Kuiper belt objects down to a few km size by monitoring chance stellar occultations by these cometary nuclei. The author will set up an array of small (50 cm), wide-field (f/1.9) telescopes, each equipped with a 2K squared CCD camera, along a 7 km baseline in central Taiwan at an elevation above ≡3000 m. The robot telescope will operate in a coincidence mode, so the sequence and timing of any candidate occultation event can be recorded and distinguished against a false detection.
