The size, shape, density and ring of the dwarf planet Haumea from a stellar occultation

Jose Luis Ortiz, +94 more
- 12 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: Observations from multiple Earth-based observatories of Haumea passing in front of a distant star (a multi-chord stellar occultation) report the presence of a ring with an opacity of 0.5, which constrains the three-dimensional orientation of Haumesa and its triaxial shape, which is inconsistent with a homogeneous body in hydrostatic equilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lower atmosphere and pressure evolution on Pluto from ground-based stellar occultations, 1988–2016

E. Meza, +176 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a central flash observed on 2015 June 29 is consistent with New Horizons REX profiles, provided that large diurnal temperature variations (not expected by current models) occur over Sputnik Planitia; and/or hazes with tangential optical depth of ~0.3 are present at 4-7 km altitude levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pluto's lower atmosphere and pressure evolution from ground-based stellar occultations, 1988-2016

E. Meza, +169 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used eleven stellar occultations by Pluto observed between 2002 and 2016 to retrieve atmospheric profiles (density, pressure, temperature) between $5 km and $380 km altitude levels (i.e. pressures from about 10 microbar to 10 nanobar).
Journal ArticleDOI

The large Trans-Neptunian Object 2002 TC$_{302}$ from combined stellar occultation, photometry and astrometry data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained 12 positive occultation chords from Italy, France, Slovenia and Switzerland and used them to obtain an accurate elliptical fit to the instantaneous projection of the trans-Neptunian body, compatible with the near misses.
Journal ArticleDOI

The large trans-Neptunian object 2002 TC302 from combined stellar occultation, photometry, and astrometry data

J. L. Ortiz, +87 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a geometric albedo of 0.147 ± 0.005 for the trans-Neptunian object (TNO) 2002 TC302, which represents the best observed stellar occultation other than Pluto in terms of the number of chords published thus far.
