New families of ovoids in O+8

We construct four new infinite families of ovoids in the 8-dimensional orthogonal geometry Oinf8sup+. We determine the automorphism groups of these ovoids and we show that the two ‘sporadic’ ovoids recently found by Cooperstein [2] and Shult [11] are members of our families.
