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…
Asteroid sizes determined with thermophysical model and stellar occultations
A. Choukroun, A. Marciniak, J. Ďurech +165
Context. The sizes of many asteroids, especially slowly rotating, low-amplitude targets, remain poorly constrained due to selection effects. These biases limit the availability of…
Physical properties of trans-Neptunian object (143707) 2003 UY117 derived from stellar occultation and photometric observations
M. Kretlow, J. L. Ortiz, J. Desmars +49
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are considered to be among the most primitive objects in our Solar System. Knowledge of their primary physical properties is essential for understand…
Constraints on the structure and seasonal variations of Triton's atmosphere from the 5 October 2017 stellar occultation and previous observations
J. Marques Oliveira, B. Sicardy, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +234
A stellar occultation by Neptune's main satellite, Triton, was observed on 5 October 2017 from Europe, North Africa, and the USA. We derived 90 light curves from this event, 42 of…
The 2017 May 20 stellar occultation by the elongated centaur (95626) 2002 GZ
P. Santos-Sanz, J. L. Ortiz, B. Sicardy +56
We predicted a stellar occultation of the bright star Gaia DR1 4332852996360346368 (UCAC4 385-75921) (m= 14.0 mag) by the centaur 2002 GZ for 2017 May 20$^{\rm th}…
Study of the plutino object (208996) 2003 AZ84 from stellar occultations: size, shape and topographic features
A. Dias-Oliveira, B. Sicardy, J. L. Ortiz +60
We present results derived from four stellar occultations by the plutino object (208996) 2003~AZ, detected at January 8, 2011 (single-chord event), February 3, 2012 (multi-c…
