Stellar Occultation Observations of Saturn's North-polar Temperature Structure

We have observed a stellar occultation of GSC5249-01240 by Saturn's north polar region on November 20, 1995 from NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF). This is the first recorded occultation by the polar region of a giant planet. The occulted region extends 88 km in vertical height and 660 km in horizontal length, over a region from 82.5 to 85 degrees in planetocentric latitude and from 20 ...

Stellar Occultation Saturn ' s Upper Observations of Atmosphere

We have analyzed three stellar occultation observations of Saturn's upper atmosphere during the years 1989 to 1995. These occultations probed the stratosphere at pressure levels about 0.5 to 20 pbars, intermediate to those probed by the Pioneer 11, Voyager I and II radio and ultraviolet occultations. The time span of the earlier occultations and the observation of a higher latitude occultation ...

Polar branches of stellar activity waves: dynamo models and observations

Aims. Stellar activity data provide evidence of activity wave branches propagating polewards rather than equatorwards (the solar case). This evidence is especially pronounced for the well-observed subgiant HR 1099. Stellar dynamo theory allows polewards propagating dynamo waves for certain governing parameters. In this paper, we try to unite observations and theory. Methods. Taking into account...

Observations of a successive stellar occultation by Charon and graze by Pluto in 2011

Introduction: Since the late 1980s, stellar occultations have provided snapshots of the Pluto system and specifically of Pluto’s atmospheric evolution. The lower atmosphere, below roughly half-light level in an occultation light curve, has changed distinctly over time (e.g. [1, 2]). Theorized explanations for the lower atmospheric structure include a steep thermal gradient and/or extinction, th...

Occultation of young stellar objects by circumstellar disks I. Theoretical expectations and preliminary comparison with observations

The hypothesis that partial occultation of young stars by their circumstellar disks is responsible for UX Ori and T Tauri Type III photometric variability is quantitatively studied. We construct accretion disk models in which reprocessing of stellar and accretion luminosity leads to flaring of the disk (assumed to be in vertical hydrostatic equilibrium), and compute the probability to observe t...
