We propose to perform accurate multi-color photometry and rotational period measurements of the newly discovered trans-Neptunian object (TNO) 2009 MS9. This extraordinary object was discovered by our team during a CFHT survey dedicated to the search of high ecliptic latitudes. It is of special interest because it has unusually large inclination, semi- major axis, and eccentricity (i/a/e ~ 68°/400 AU/0.97). It represents a new and exciting clue regarding the origin of Halley-type comets (which are nearly-isotropic comets with orbital periods typically 20
