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…

The 2014-2015 Brazilian Mutual Phenomena campaign for the Jovian satellites and improved results for the 2009 events

B. Morgado, R. Vieira-Martins, M. Assafin +15

Progress in astrometry and orbital modelling of planetary moons in the last decade enabled better determinations of their orbits. These studies need accurate positions spread over…

Pluto's ephemeris from ground-based stellar occultations (1988-2016)

J. Desmars, E. Meza, B. Sicardy +13

From 1988 to 2016, several stellar occultations have been observed to characterize Pluto's atmosphere and its evolution (Meza et al, 2019). From each stellar occultation, an accura…

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…

APPROX -- Mutual approximations between the Galilean moons. The 2016-2018 observational campaign

B. Morgado, R. Vieira-Martins, M. Assafin +23

The technique of mutual approximations accurately gives the central instant at the maximum apparent approximation of two moving natural satellites in the sky plane. This can be use…

Study of the plutino object (208996) 2003 AZ84 from stellar occultations: size, shape and topographic features

A. Dias-Oliveira, B. Sicardy, J. L. Ortiz +60

We present results derived from four stellar occultations by the plutino object (208996) 2003~AZ, detected at January 8, 2011 (single-chord event), February 3, 2012 (multi-c…
