[Detailed Finder Charts]


Updated:   2022 APR 15, 19:50 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.

Xanthippe Update Map


On 2022 May 05 UT, the 124.3 km diameter asteroid (156) Xanthippe will occult a 11.8 mag star in the constellation Libra for observers along a path across New Zealand, including Invercargill and possibly Dunedin and Te Anau, and across Australia, from Maalacoota across eastern Victoria, south-east - north-west New South Wales, north-eastern South Australia, southern Northern Territory and northern Western Australia to Halls Creek.

In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 0.39 mag to 10.84 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 15.530 seconds.

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, inparticular the institutions participating in the Gaia Multilateral Agreement.
