Detection and characterisation of binary asteroid candidates through stellar occultations
R. Lallemand, J. Desmars, B. Sicardy +256
Binary asteroids provide key access to fundamental parameters of Solar System remnants and planetary formations. However, the current knowledge of binary asteroids remains strongly…
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…
The rings of (2060) Chiron: Evidence of an evolving system
C. L. Pereira, F. Braga-Ribas, B. Sicardy +54
The centaur (2060) Chiron has long been a candidate for hosting material in orbit, based on occultation and photometric and spectroscopic data. Here, we present a multichord stella…
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…
Size and Shape Constraints of (486958) Arrokoth from Stellar Occultations
Marc W. Buie, Simon B. Porter, Peter Tamblyn +130
We present the results from four stellar occultations by (486958) Arrokoth, the flyby target of the New Horizons extended mission. Three of the four efforts led to positive detecti…
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…
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…
A ring system detected around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo
F. Braga-Ribas, B. Sicardy, J. L. Ortiz +61
Until now, rings have been detected in the Solar System exclusively around the four giant planets. Here we report the discovery of the first minor-body ring system around the Centa…
