Asteroid occultations today and tomorrow: toward the GAIA era
Context. Observation of star occultations is a powerful tool to determine shapes and sizes of asteroids. This is key information necessary for studying the evolution of the asteroid belt and to calibrate indirect methods of size determination, such as the models used to analyze thermal infrared observations. Up to now, the observation of asteroid occultations is an activity essentially secured ...
متن کاملPhotocentre offset in ultraprecise astrometry: Implications for barycentre determination and asteroid modelling
We investigate the magnitude and characteristics of the photocentre offset phenomenon of small solar system bodies, and compare different scenarios for correcting for it. We discuss the corresponding implications and limitations to the inverse problem of model construction based on astrometry with instruments such as GAIA.
متن کاملGOMOS: Ozone profile measurements by stellar occultations
The Global Ozone Monitoring by Occultation of Stars instrument (GOMOS) will be launched on board ESA’s Envisat satellite in late 2001. GOMOS will measure ozone and trace gases in the atmosphere by detecting the absorption of star light in UV, visible and infrared wavelengths. GOMOS will deliver ozone and other trace gas profiles at altitudes 15-90 km with a good vertical resolution and with a g...
متن کاملGPS radio occultations
The occurrence of sporadic E (Es) layers has been a hot scientific topic for a long time. The GNSS (global navigation satellite system)-based radio occultation (RO) has proven to be a powerful technique for detecting the global Es layers. In this paper, we focus on some cases of complex Es layers based on the RO data from multiple missions processed in UCAR/CDAAC (University Corporation for Atm...
متن کاملNew binary stars discovered by lunar occultations . V ?
We present recent results from our ongoing lunar occultation program on binary stars at the TIRGO and Calar Alto observatories. Observations are presented here for a total of seventeen sources, the majority of which are resolved for the first time. These include SAO 94621, IRAS 18154-1900, SAO 98345, SAO 98363, SAO 93947, SAO 97319, SAO 97437, SAO 94986, SAO 94488, DO 11742, SAO 78027 and SAO 7...
