Constraints on (2060) Chiron's size, shape, and surrounding material from the November 2018 and September 2019 stellar occultations
Felipe Braga-Ribas, C. L. Pereira, B. Sicardy +24
After the discovery of rings around the largest known Centaur object, (10199) Chariklo, we carried out observation campaigns of stellar occultations produced by the second-largest…
The two rings of (50000) Quaoar
C. L. Pereira, B. Sicardy, B. E. Morgado +66
Quaoar is a classical Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) with an area equivalent diameter of 1,100 km and an orbital semi-major axis of 43.3 astronomical units. Based on stellar occultat…
Milliarcsecond astrometry for the Galilean moons using stellar occultations
B. E. Morgado, A. R. Gomes-Júnior, F. Braga-Ribas +40
A stellar occultation occurs when a Solar System object passes in front of a star for an observer. This technique allows the determination of sizes and shapes of the occulting body…
Refined physical parameters for Chariklo's body and rings from stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2020
B. E. Morgado, B. Sicardy, F. Braga-Ribas +78
The Centaur (10199) Chariklo has the first rings system discovered around a small object. It was first observed using stellar occultation in 2013. Stellar occultations allow the de…
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…
A modified CoRoT detrend algorithm and the discovery of a new planetary companion
Rodrigo C. Boufleur, Marcelo Emilio, Eduardo Janot-Pacheco +4
We present MCDA, a modification of the CoRoT detrend algorithm (CDA) suitable to detrend chromatic light curves. By means of robust statistics and better handling of short term var…
Pluto's atmosphere from stellar occultations in 2012 and 2013
A. Dias-Oliveira, B. Sicardy, E. Lellouch +42
We analyze two multi-chord stellar occultations by Pluto observed on July 18th, 2012 and May 4th, 2013, and monitored respectively from five and six sites. They provide a total of…
Results of two multi-chord stellar occultations by dwarf planet (1) Ceres
A. R. Gomes-Júnior, B. L. Giacchini, F. Braga-Ribas +24
We report the results of two multi-chord stellar occultations by the dwarf planet (1) Ceres that were observed from Brazil on 2010 August 17, and from the USA on 2013 October 25. F…
A ring system detected around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo
F. Braga-Ribas, B. Sicardy, J. L. Ortiz +61
Until now, rings have been detected in the Solar System exclusively around the four giant planets. Here we report the discovery of the first minor-body ring system around the Centa…
