Abstract
⺠Vulcanoids are a hypothesized population of asteroids interior to Mercury's orbit. ⺠We searched for Vulcanoids using data from the Heliospheric Imager on STEREO-A. ⺠No Vulcanoids were found. ⺠We place a 3Ï upper limit of 5.6 km on the size of any undetected Vulcanoids. ⺠There are presently no more than 76 Vulcanoids larger than 1 km.
