Planetary rings are observed not only around giant planets, but also around small bodies
such as the Centaur Chariklo and the dwarf planet Haumea. Up to now, all known dense …

PRAIA–Package for the Reduction of Astronomical Images Automatically–is a suite of
photometric and astrometric tasks designed to cope with huge amounts of heterogeneous …

The stellar occultation technique provides competitive accuracy in determining the sizes,
shapes, astrometry, etc., of the occulting body, comparable to in-situ observations by …

Stellar occultations provide a powerful tool to explore objects of the outer solar system. The
Gaia mission now provides milli-arcsec accuracy on the predictions of these events and …

Context. After the discovery of rings around the largest known Centaur object,(10199)
Chariklo, we carried out observation campaigns of stellar occultations produced by the …

Dynamic exploration around non-spherical bodies has increased in recent decades due to
the interest in studying the motion of spacecraft orbits, moons, and particle ring around these …

The K2 mission of the Kepler Space Telescope allowed the observations of light curves of
small solar system bodies throughout the whole solar system. In this paper, we present the …

ABSTRACT The Centaur (60558) Echeclus was discovered on 2000 March 03, orbiting
between the orbits of Jupiter and Uranus. After exhibiting frequent outbursts, it also received …

A stellar occultation by Pluto on 5 September 2019 yielded positive detections at two
separate stations. Using an approach consistent with comparable studies, we derived a …
