Our team has played a key role in the discovery and tracking of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), contributing to major survey programs such as the Canadian-France Ecliptic Plane Survey. Through observations conducted at the Calar Alto and La Palma observatories during the first decade of this century, we have helped uncover part of the dynamic architecture of the outer Solar System, revealing previously unknown aspects of this distant region.
More recently, we have been actively involved in the ongoing occultation campaign led by J. L. Ortiz from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (Granada, Spain). This campaign has achieved exciting results, including the discovery of rings around small celestial bodies known as Centaurs, providing new and surprising insights into the composition and characteristics of these enigmatic objects in the Solar System.
