The first observed stellar occultations by the irregular satellite (Saturn IX) Phoebe and improved rotational period
A. R. Gomes-Júnior, M. Assafin, F. Braga-Ribas +24
We report six stellar occultations by (Saturn IX) Phoebe, an irregular satellite of Saturn, obtained between mid-2017 and mid-2019. The 2017 July 06 event is the first stellar occu…
The 2014-2015 Brazilian Mutual Phenomena campaign for the Jovian satellites and improved results for the 2009 events
B. Morgado, R. Vieira-Martins, M. Assafin +15
Progress in astrometry and orbital modelling of planetary moons in the last decade enabled better determinations of their orbits. These studies need accurate positions spread over…
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…
First stellar occultation by the Galilean moon Europa and upcoming events between 2019 and 2021
B. Morgado, G. Benedetti-Rossi, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +21
Context. Bright stellar positions are now known with an uncertainty below 1 mas thanks to Gaia DR2. Between 2019-2020, the Galactic plane will be the background of Jupiter. The den…
A Cold Stellar Stream in Pegasus
H. D. Perottoni, C. Martin, H. J. Newberg +3
We report the serendipitous discovery of a stellar stream in the constellation Pegasus in the south Galactic hemisphere. The stellar stream was detected using the SDSS Data Release…
Pluto's ephemeris from ground-based stellar occultations (1988-2016)
J. Desmars, E. Meza, B. Sicardy +13
From 1988 to 2016, several stellar occultations have been observed to characterize Pluto's atmosphere and its evolution (Meza et al, 2019). From each stellar occultation, an accura…
