Constraining the size, shape, and albedo of the large Trans-Neptunian Object (28978) Ixion with multi-chord stellar occultations
Y. Kilic, F. Braga-Ribas, C. L. Pereira +81
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are among the most primitive remnants of the early Solar System, and constraining their sizes, shapes, albedos, and surface properties is essential f…
A high geometric albedo and small size of the Haumea cluster member (24835) 1995 SM55 from a stellar occultation and photometric observations
J. L. Ortiz, N. Morales, B. Sicardy +98
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are among the most ancient bodies of the solar system. Understanding their physical properties is key to constraining their origin and the evolution…
The trans-Neptunian object (119951) 2002 KX14 revealed via multiple stellar occultations
J. L. Rizos, J. L. Ortiz, F. L. Rommel +55
(119951) 2002 KX14 is a large classical TNO with limited previous observations and unresolved questions regarding its physical properties. Five stellar occultations by 2002 KX14 we…
Uncovering the Invisible: A Study of Gaia18ajz, a Candidate Black Hole Revealed by Microlensing
K. Howil, Ł. Wyrzykowski, K. Kruszyńska +30
Identifying black holes is essential for comprehending the development of stars and uncovering novel principles of physics. Gravitational microlensing provides an exceptional oppor…
A large topographic feature on the surface of the trans-Neptunian object (307261) 2002 MS measured from stellar occultations
F. L. Rommel, F. Braga-Ribas, J. L. Ortiz +201
This work aims at constraining the size, shape, and geometric albedo of the dwarf planet candidate 2002 MS4 through the analysis of nine stellar occultation events. Using multichor…
The changing material around (2060) Chiron from an occultation on 2022 December 15
J. L. Ortiz, C. L. Pereira, B. Sicardy +30
We could accurately predict the shadow path and successfully observe an occultation of a bright star by Chiron on 2022 December 15. The Kottamia Astronomical Observatory in Egypt d…
