Phaeo occultation - 2012 October 04

Discussion:

The ellipse above is plotted at the best fit axis ratio as determined by Occult. This give an axis ratio of 1.22 compared to the lightcurve estimate of 1.13. The resultant area is about 88% of the predicted circle of 72 km. With 2 chords we can be confident of the path of Phaeo and that it was south of the predicted line.

The figure below shows the Tangra light curve of the occultation from Eagleby.
