ASTROMETRIC UPDATE:
OCCULTATION BY (419) AURELIA - 2021 JUN 11

[Edwin Goffin's Prediction + Finder Charts]

[Detailed Finder Charts]


Updated:   2021 May 17, 22:24 UT

Event Rank : 99

(The event Rank is a measure of the likelihood of observing an event, and is equal to the probability of at least one successful observation by a team of two observers spaced 1/8 path width just inside opposite sides of the predicted path. An event rank of 100 indicates that the prediction is expected to be very accurate).


THE UPDATED PATH

Note: The duration given in the line below is the interval during which the occultation shadow sweeps across the Earth - please see the minute markers on the map to determine the approximate time for your location.

Aurelia Update Map


On 2021 Jun 11 UT, the 133 km diameter asteroid (419) Aurelia will occult a 11.0 mag star in the constellation Sagittarius for observers along a path across northern Queensland, Northern Territory and north-eastern West Australia.

In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by only 0.51 mag to 10.44 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 25.7 seconds. This event will be difficult to observe visually.

This update is based on, astrometry for the asteroid kindly provided by the IAU Minor Planet Center. This work has made use of data from the European Space Agency (ESA) mission Gaia (http://www.cosmos.esa.int/gaia), processed by the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC, http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/dpac/consortium). Funding for the DPAC has been provided by national institutions, in particular the institutions participating in the Gaia Multilateral Agreement.
