Jan Manek's update
IOTA/IOTA-ES occultation update for
(203) Pompeja / TYC 1885-01254-1 on January 28/29, 2003
visible from S Russia, Ukraine, N Poland, Denmark, N Scotland,
NE Canada and NW USA
Summary
In the night of January 28/29, 2003 a faint 11.6 mag star TYC 1885-01254-1
will be occulted by a 120 km asteroid (203) Pompeja. This update is based on
USNO/Flagstaff and Geneva astrometry for the asteroid and recent UCAC star position.
The updated path shows ~1 path width north shift with time 0.5 minutes earlier compared to
Edwin Goffin's nominal prediction.
Updated path runs over S Russia ~1:41.3 UT, Ukraine ~1:42.0 UT, N Poland with Warszawa in path ~1:43.0 UT,
Denmark ~1:44.3 UT, N Scotland ~1:45.8 UT, NE Canada 1:53-2:00 UT and NW USA 2:00-2:05 UT.
Please check the path chart for details.
Clear sky and good luck !!!
The event at one glimpse:
* date and approx. UT time of event: January 29, 2003 @ 01:43 UT (Europe)
02:01 UT (Canada-US border)
* magnitude of target star: 11.6
* magnitude drop [mag]: 1.6
* estimated maximum duration [s]: 19.2
* path description: given above
* Goffin's original chart reference: A03_0124
The occultation path:
* approximate ground width [km]: 140
* uncertainty [path widths]: 0.5
* uncertainty in time [s]: 12
* 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 1885-01254-1
* constellation: Gemini
* J2000 position [h,m,s; o,',"]: 06h 09m 11.4182s; +27o 37' 29.173"
* position source: recent UCAC position combined with Tycho-2 proper motion
* estimated accuracy ["]: 0.04" (0.03", 0.03")
* V mag [mag]: 11.63
* B-V [mag]: +1.44
* remarks:
Target star is in NW Gemini, about 6.0 degrees NW of 2.9 mag star mu Geminorum = SAO 78297.
Target star is brighter (southeast) component of a pair, fainter 12.3 mag star is 19" away in PA ~300 degrees.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
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 about this.
Close finding chart (prepared in GUIDE7):
* occulted star is in center - labeled with cross
* field is 2.0x2.0 degrees
* limiting magnitude is 12.5
* labeled stars have indicated SAO numbers
* remarks: Second chart (with limiting mag 15.1) is enlargement to show correctly target star.
