Caption: Figure 1.

Hammer–Aitoff equal-area projection of the sphere for the TNOs (blue dots) and Centaurs (red stars) for which a position was determined. The ecliptic and Galactic planes, as well as the DES footprint, are also represented by black lines. Some fields are clearly outside the DES footprint. They refer to observations associated to the Vimos Very Large Telescope (VLT) deep survey (leftmost blue dot; Le Fèvre et al. 2005), to the LIGO event G211117 (the two northernmost blue dots; Cowperthwaite et al. 2016), and to DES engineering time (blue dots close to the ecliptic, at R.A. ∼22.4 hr).
