Sabine occultation__ 2014 August 06

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 53 km diameter of Sabine. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Dave was north or south of the central line of the event. The DAMIT 3D model has been overlaid on the measured ellipse and could be on either side.

The figure below shows the Tangra light curve with IOTA anaalysis of the occultation.
