A ring system detected around the centaur (10199) chariklo

Felipe Braga-Ribas, +71 more
- 03 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: Observations of a multichord stellar occultation revealed the presence of a ring system around (10199) Chariklo, which is a Centaur—that is, one of a class of small objects orbiting primarily between Jupiter and Neptune—with an equivalent radius of 124 9 kilometres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Albedo and atmospheric constraints of dwarf planet Makemake from a stellar occultation

TL;DR: The disappearances and reappearances of the star were abrupt, showing that Makemake has no global Pluto-like atmosphere at an upper limit of 4–12 nanobar (1σ) for the surface pressure, although a localized atmosphere is possible.
Journal ArticleDOI

The size, shape, albedo, density, and atmospheric limit of transneptunian object (50000) quaoar from multi-chord stellar occultations

TL;DR: Braga Ribas et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a method to improve the quality of the data collected by the data collection system of the government of Brazil, using data from the Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacao.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution of boulders and the gravity potential on asteroid Itokawa

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed images taken at different surface resolution and configurations corresponding to several regions on the asteroid Itokawa and found that the size distribution is correlated with the total potential and the surface gravity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Structure of Chariklo’s Rings from Stellar Occultations

D. Bérard, +81 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 12 successful occulations by Chariklo observed between 2014 and 2016 to provide ring profiles (physical width, opacity, edge structure) and constraints on the radii and pole position.
