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…
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…
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…
Volumes and bulk densities of forty asteroids from ADAM shape modeling
Josef Hanus, Matti Viikinkoski, Franck Marchis +11
Disk-integrated photometric data of asteroids do not contain accurate information on shape details or size scale. Additional data such as disk-resolved images or stellar occultatio…
Pluto's atmosphere from the 29 June 2015 ground-based stellar occultation at the time of the New Horizons flyby
B. Sicardy, J. Talbot, E. Meza +65
We present results from a multi-chord Pluto stellar occultation observed on 29 June 2015 from New Zealand and Australia. This occurred only two weeks before the NASA New Horizons f…
Combining asteroid models derived by lightcurve inversion with asteroidal occultation silhouettes
Josef Durech, Mikko Kaasalainen, David Herald +9
Asteroid sizes can be directly measured by observing occultations of stars by asteroids. When there are enough observations across the path of the shadow, the asteroid's projected…
