Made available in DSpace on 2021-06-25T11:08:24Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-12-01; Context. Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs are remnants of our planetary system formation, and their physical properties have invaluable information for evolutionary theories. Stellar occultation is a ground-based method for studying these distant small bodies and has presented exciting result...

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 to the high-inclination dynamically excited population, and has a satellite, Ilmarë, which is half the size of Varda. Aims. We...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-02-01; We report six stellar occultations by Phoebe (Saturn IX), an irregular satellite of Saturn, obtained between mid-2017 and mid-2019. The 2017 July 6 event was the first stellar occultation by an irregular satellite ever observed. The occultation chords were compared to a 3D shape model of the satellite o...

Deriving physical properties of trans-Neptunian objects is important for the understanding of our Solar System. This requires observational efforts and the development of techniques suitable for these studies. Aims. Our aim is to characterize the large trans-Neptunian object (TNO) 2002 TC302. M...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-11-04; Observation of stellar occultation by objects of the Solar System is a powerful technique that allows measurements of size and shape of the small bodies with accuracies in the order of the kilometre. In addition, the occultation star probes the surroundings of the object, allowing the study of putative ...

Bright stellar positions are now known with an uncertainty below 1 mas thanks to Gaia DR2. Between 2019-2020, the Galactic plane will be the background of Jupiter. The dense stellar background will lead to an increase in the number of occultations, while the Gaia DR2 catalogue will reduce the p...
