Planetary Science Seminar fall-2022

DEEP is a Kuiper Belt survey that uses digital tracking to reach depths much fainter than the single-exposure limit. In this talk I will present results from 3 years of DEEP data, yielding 2305 single-epoch detections. I use these detections to compute the absolute magnitude distribution of the Cold Classical population, and discuss the implications for the streaming instability model of planetesimal formation.
