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 occultations enable milliarcsecond astrometry for Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs
F. L. Rommel, F. Braga-Ribas, J. Desmars +66
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs are remnants of our planetary system formation, and their physical properties have invaluable information for evolutionary theories. Ste…
Precise astrometry and diameters of asteroids from occultations -- a data-set of observations and their interpretation
David Herald, David Gault, Robert Anderson +10
Occultations of stars by asteroids have been observed since 1961, increasing from a very small number to now over 500 annually. We have created and regularly maintain a growing dat…
A multi-chord stellar occultation by the large trans-Neptunian object (174567) Varda
D. Souami, F. Braga-Ribas, B. Sicardy +41
We present results from the first recorded stellar occultation by the large trans-Neptunian object (174567) Varda that was observed on September 10, 2018. Varda belongs…
Size and Shape Constraints of (486958) Arrokoth from Stellar Occultations
Marc W. Buie, Simon B. Porter, Peter Tamblyn +130
We present the results from four stellar occultations by (486958) Arrokoth, the flyby target of the New Horizons extended mission. Three of the four efforts led to positive detecti…
Physical, spectral, and dynamical properties of asteroid (107) Camilla and its satellites
M. Pajuelo, B. Carry, F. Vachier +24
The population of large asteroids is thought to be primordial and they are the most direct witnesses of the early history of our Solar System. Those satellites allow study of the m…
