Rommel, F. L.; Braga-Ribas, F.; Desmars, J.; Camargo, J. I.B.; Ortiz, J. L.; Sicardy, B.; Vieira-Martins, R.; Assafin, M.; Santos-Sanz, P.; Duffard, R.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...
A multi-chord stellar occultation by the large trans-Neptunian object (174567) ...
Souami, D.; Braga-Ribas, F.; Sicardy, B.; Morgado, B.; Ortiz, J. L.; Desmars, J.; Camargo, J. I.B.; Vachier, F.; Berthier, J.; Carry, B.Made available in DSpace on 2021-06-25T10:16:12Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-11-01; Context. 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...

Ortiz, J. L.; Santos-Sanz, P.; Sicardy, B.; Benedetti-Rossi, G.; Duffard, R.; Morales, N.; Braga-Ribas, F.; Fernández-Valenzuela, E.; Nascimbeni, V.Made available in DSpace on 2020-12-12T01:33:21Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-07-01; Context. 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...
Pluto's ephemeris from ground-based stellar occultations (1988-2016)
Desmars, J.; Meza, E.; Sicardy, B.; Assafin, M.; Camargo, J. I.B.; Braga-Ribas, F.; Benedetti-Rossi, G.; Dias-Oliveira, A.; Morgado, B.Made available in DSpace on 2019-10-06T15:54:14Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-01-01; Context. From 1988 to 2016, several stellar occultations have been observed to characterise Pluto's atmosphere and its evolution. From each stellar occultation, an accurate astrometric position of Pluto at the observation epoch is derived. These positions mainly depend on the position of the occulted st...
