Abstract
We present preliminary results of the analysis of the first 500 squaredegrees of the Southern Edgeworth-Kuiper belt Survey, a large sky survey whichran from January 2000 to January 2003 and comprises 2900° in total. Early testspredict that we should discover ∼10 bright TNOs in our data, doubling the currentknown population.
