IOTA/IOTA-ES occultation update for (1328) Devota / TYC 6280-01635-1 on July 8/9, 2002 visible from Australia and South Africa Summary
In the night of July 8/9, 2002 a 10.7 mag star TYC 6280-01635-1 will be occulted by a 60 km asteroid (1328) Devota. This update is based on USNO/Flagstaff and TMO astrometry for the asteroid and UCAC1 star position.
The updated path shows ~6 path width south shift with time ~0.1 minutes earlier compared to Edwin Goffin's nominal prediction.
Updated path runs over Australia from NE to SW, ~18:55.8 to ~18:58.8 UT and later over South Africa just north of Bloemfintein and Kimberley ~18:07.5 UT followed by south Namibia ~18.08 UT. Please check the path chart for details.
Clear sky and good luck !!!

UT time of event: July 8, 2002 @ 17:58 UT (Australia) 18:08 UT (South Africa) * magnitude of target star: 10.7 * magnitude drop [mag]: 4.8 * estimated maximum duration [s]: 4.2 * path description: given above * Goffin's original chart reference: A02_0756 The occultation path: * approximate ground width [km]: 65 * uncertainty [path widths]: 2.6 * uncertainty in time [s]: 15 * map: below * remarks: Path uncertainties are given according to nominal star position errors and expected asteroid positional accuracy. Data for the target star: * name: TYC 6280-01635-1 * constellation: Sagittarius * J2000 position [h,m,s; o,',"]: 18h 44m 07.8599s; -16o 12' 42.567" * position source: UCAC1 * estimated accuracy ["]: 0.02" (0.015", 0.005") * V mag [mag]: 10.66 * B-V [mag]: +1.35 * remarks: Target star is in north Sagittarius, just south of border with Scutum, about 4 degrees southeast of 4.7 mag star gamma Scuti = SAO 161520. Purple stars in identification chart are so called 'non-star' objects in GSC; in dense fields the 'non-stars' are often real stars or blends of close pairs. Be careful. Close finding chart (prepared in GUIDE7): * occulted star is in center - labeled with cross * field is 2.5x2.5 degrees * limiting magnitude is 12.5 * labeled stars have indicated SAO numbers * remarks:
