Euphrosyne occultation - 2008 June 16

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 255 km diameter of Euphrosyne. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Stephen was north or south of the central line of the event.

The figure below shows the Limovie light curve for the event. There is some evidence for a non-instantaneous D and R, taking 8 to 10 frames (300 to 499 mS) which may be exagerated by the slow path movement.
