Size, shape, density, and atmospheric limit of (50000) Quaoar revealed from 14 years of stellar occultation

Giuliano Margoti, Felipe Braga-Ribas, José Luis Ortiz +173

We present results from 28 stellar occultations by the large Trans-Neptunian Object (50000) Quaoar registered between 2018 and 2025. By performing a joint analysis of this occultat…

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…

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…

The stellar occultation by (319) Leona on 13 September 2023 in preparation for the occultation of Betelgeuse

J. L. Ortiz, M. Kretlow, C. Schnabel +36

On 12 December 2023, the star Orionis (Betelgeuse) will be occulted by the asteroid (319) Leona. This represents an extraordinary and unique opportunity to analyze the diameter…

The multichord stellar occultation by the centaur Bienor on January 11, 2019

E. Fernández-Valenzuela, N. Morales, M. Vara-Lubiano +42

Within our program of physical characterization of trans-Neptunian objects and centaurs, we predicted a stellar occultation by the centaur (54598) Bienor to occur on January 11, 20…

Physical properties of the trans-Neptunian object (38628) Huya from a multi-chord stellar occultation

P. Santos-Sanz, J. L. Ortiz, B. Sicardy +85

Within our international program to obtain accurate physical properties of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) we predicted a stellar occultation by the TNO (38628) Huya of the star Gai…

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…
