" There is no evidence for any sort of clustering in the orbits of these distant TNOs, they're consistent with being uniformly distributed, " she says.

“没有证据表明这些遥远的 TNOs 的轨道有任何类型的聚集， 它们与均匀分布一致， ” 她说。

The team concluded that there is no reason to think that ETNOs are not uniformly distributed, and that it's possible that observed objects only seem to be clustered because of selection bias.

该团队得出结论， 没有理由认为 ETNO 不是均匀分布的，而且观察到的物体可能只是因为选择偏差而看起来聚集在一起。

After accounting for selection bias — the fact that researchers have observed only a small portion of the outer Solar System — the data suggest that ETNOs are uniformly distributed across the sky.

在考虑了选择偏差——研究人员只观察了太阳系外一小部分的事实——之后， 数据表明 ETNO 均匀分布在天空中。
