Scientific paper

The Hubble Space Telescope has observed numerous targets all over the sky over the years. The resolution, sensitivity and observation cadence of the WFC channel on the ACS camera allows an extensive search for trans-neptunian objects on the HST archive. This project was arbitrarily divided in ecliptic bands. The first band (0-5 deg) is already published (Fuentes et al., 2010) We present the results of the second part (5-20 deg). Unlike most surveys that sample a combination of dynamically "hot" and "cold" objects, this one focuses mostly on "hot" objects. In this talk we present the results of this survey, and put it in the context of other surveys in the literature. Possible extensions of this project will also be presented.
