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…

Scaling slowly rotating asteroids by stellar occultations

A. Marciniak, J. Ďurech, A. Choukroun +176

As evidenced by recent survey results, majority of asteroids are slow rotators (P>12 h), but lack spin and shape models due to selection bias. This bias is skewing our overall unde…

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}…

Pluto's lower atmosphere and pressure evolution from ground-based stellar occultations, 1988-2016

E. Meza, B. Sicardy, M. Assafin +167

Context. Pluto's tenuous nitrogen (N2) atmosphere undergoes strong seasonal effects due to high obliquity and orbital eccentricity, and has been recently (July 2015) observed by th…
