Research Abstract
In this study, observational methods for the detections of Oort cloud objects have been developed. Observation systems for the detections of stellar occultations by Oort cloud objects have been developed. Also, data reduction tools for detections and analyses of occultation event candidates have been developed. Through these developments, a single occultation event candidate by a Kuiper-belt object is found from archival data. In addition, multiple scientific results about known trans-Neptunian objects and movie astronomy have been obtained.
