To date, 234 KBOs and Centaurs discovered in the course of the survey have received provisional designations or permanent numbers.
Among these are several objects with interesting physical and dynamical characteristics including 28978 Ixion, the intrinsically brightest KBO; three objects that subsequently have been found by other investigators to be binaries; and the dynamically young KBO, 2000 QB243.
Early results and a detailed description of the observational and analytic techniques used in the survey have been published (Millis et al., AJ 123, 2083-2109, 2002).
