Refined physical parameters for Chariklo's body and rings from stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2020

B. E. Morgado, B. Sicardy, F. Braga-Ribas +78

The Centaur (10199) Chariklo has the first rings system discovered around a small object. It was first observed using stellar occultation in 2013. Stellar occultations allow the de…

The trans-Neptunian object (84922) 2003 VS2 through stellar occultations

Gustavo Benedetti-Rossi, P. Santos-Sanz, J. L. Ortiz +50

We present results from three world-wide campaigns that resulted in the detections of two single-chord and one multi-chord stellar occultations by the Plutino object (84922) 2003~V…

Pluto's lower atmosphere and pressure evolution from ground-based stellar occultations, 1988-2016

E. Meza, B. Sicardy, M. Assafin +167

Context. Pluto's tenuous nitrogen (N2) atmosphere undergoes strong seasonal effects due to high obliquity and orbital eccentricity, and has been recently (July 2015) observed by th…

The future of stellar occultations by distant solar system bodies: perspectives from the Gaia astrometry and the deep sky surveys

Julio Camargo, Josselin Desmars, Felipe Braga-Ribas +5

Distant objects in the solar system are crucial to better understand the history and evolution of its outskirts. The stellar occultation technique allows the determination of their…

Size and shape of Chariklo from multi-epoch stellar occultations

R Leiva, B Sicardy, J I B Camargo +28

We use data from five stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2016 to constrain Chariklo's size and shape, and the ring reflectivity. We consider four possible models for Ch…

The structure of Chariklo's rings from stellar occultations

D. Bérard, B. Sicardy, J. I. B. Camargo +79

Two narrow and dense rings (called C1R and C2R) were discovered around the Centaur object (10199) Chariklo during a stellar occultation observed on 2013 June 3. Following this disc…
