Ecliptic plane projection of the orbits of the nine q > 30, a > 150 au TNOs discovered by OSSOS. The biases affecting discovery of the distant TNO population in OSSOS are quantified in Shankman et al. (2017), which lists the TNOs with orbits in blue. Newly reported in this work is uo5m93 (orbit in red), in Table 3: catalog of uncharacterized OSSOS discoveries. These nine TNOs are consistent with being detected from a distribution of orbits that are intrinsically uniform in the angles ω and Ω.
