Asteroidal occultation by (704)Interamnia


【Remark】2023.8.29 17h34〜35m UT Star :UCAC4 620-023165 mag14.1 (=GSC 02411-02252 mag13.4) RA 05h 25m 30.163s 赤緯 +33°51' 54.45"(J2000) Asteroid:(704)Interamnia mag12.0 dia 306km Drop mag:aprox 0.15mag Max duration 12.5sec Area :alomost Japan, North Taiwan, Hongkong Note :IOTA/EA Campaign event Prediction by JPL-Horizons & Gaia EDR3 Occultation data map. link to Occult Watcher Cloud
the Importance of this event The significant intaresting body as very large and very low albedo, but this asteroid has not been studied much. We'll obtaine good shape of this asteroid by many observers coopetaion. ・ We hope to make the relationships of asteroidal observation among East Asia. ・ The improvement of observation against the small drop mag event. ・ The making studies for next age young observers like as collage students. Note for observation The observers should use large telescope and take long integtration shutter rather than usual asteroidal event to take stable star image, because this event will have very small dmag and low altitude.
