Stellar occultation observations of (38628) Huya and its satellite: a detailed look into the system
F. L. Rommel, E. Fernández-Valenzuela, B. C. N. Proudfoot +78
The physical and orbital parameters of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) provide valuable information about the Solar System's formation and evolution. In particular, the characteriza…
Physical Characteristics of Jupiter's Trojan (1437) Diomedes from a Tri-chord Stellar Occultation in 2020 and Dimensionless 3D Model
H. Dutra, M. Assafin, B. Sicardy +15
Jupiter Trojans preserve primitive formation characteristics due to their collisionless stable orbits. Determination of their shapes and size-frequency distribution constrains the…
Origins of rings in the solar system
Bruno Sicardy, Maryame El Moutamid, Stefan Renner +2
Until about a decade ago, ring systems were only known to exist around giant planets. Each one of the four giant planets harbours its own distinctive and unique system of rings and…
Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 and its near-nucleus environment from a stellar occultation
C. L. Pereira, F. Braga-Ribas, B. Sicardy +9
Comets offer valuable insights into the early Solar System's conditions and processes. Stellar occultations enables detailed study of cometary nuclei typically hidden by their coma…
Stellar occultations by Trans-Neptunian Objects
Bruno Sicardy, Felipe Braga-Ribas, Marc W. Buie +2
Stellar occultations provide a powerful tool to explore objects of the outer solar system. The Gaia mission now provides milli-arcsec accuracy on the predictions of these events an…
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…
