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}…
A Single-chord Stellar Occultation by the Extreme Trans-Neptunian Object (541132) Leleākūhonua
Marc W. Buie, Rodrigo Leiva, John M. Keller +32
A stellar occultation by the extreme large-perihelion trans-Neptunian object (541132) Leleākūhonua (also known by the provisional designation of 2015 TG387) was predicted by the Lu…
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…

The size, shape, density and ring of the dwarf planet Haumea from a stellar occultation
J. L. Ortiz, P. Santos-Sanz, B. Sicardy +90
Among the four known transneptunian dwarf planets, Haumea is an exotic, very elongated, and fast rotating body. In contrast to the other dwarf planets, its size, shape, albedo, and…
