Aidamina occultation__ 2014 June 15

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 89 km diameter of Aidamina. With no positive chords we cannot say where the actual path was, so the circle has been plotted on the predicted path.

The figure below shows the AOTA scan of Dave Herald's Tangra light curve of the event.
