A Trio of Well-Observed Asteroidal

Occultations in 2008

by Brad Timerson, et. al.

Minor Planet Bulletin, 2009 July-Sept.

pp. 98-100

Light Curves studies are being done for a Minor Planet Bulletin paper. 

There is a need for supporting observations using occultations.

There are 4 occultations involving Niobe in January 2010. 

January 14, Australia; January 16, middle part of USA; January 19, southern USA; January 23, southern Alaska

Unfortunately, all of these events involve relatively small Δ magnitudes.

Check Steve Preston's page for the latest updates and announce your intentions in OccultWatcher!

Other events that will also be useful occur in March (2 events) and April (1 event).
