Asteroid occultation event on 2018 December 5
I've prepared finder charts from:
Digital Sky Survey (15 x 15 arcmin) and The Sky 6 (15x11 arcmin)
IOTA/IOTA-ES occultation update for
(84) Klio / TYC 2909-01637-1 event on 2018 Dec 05, 16:39 UT
Visible from China, SE Asia, India
Summary
-------
On 2018 Dec 05 UT, the 79 km diameter asteroid (84) Klio will occult a 11.9 mag
star in the constellation Auriga for observers along a path across China, SE
Asia, India.
In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star
will drop by 0.95 mag to 12.28 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most
7.3 seconds.
This update is based on UNSO/Flagstaff astrometry for the asteroid kindly
provided by Hugh Harris, astrometry for the asteroid kindly provided by Bill
Owen, 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.
