[新闻] This Is SKY & TELESCOPE’s AstroAlert for Occultations

On Friday night, January 10-11, a very good occultation of
7.7-mag. SAO 117679 = TYC 0231-00063-1 by the 70-km rare M-class
asteroid (441) Bathilde will be visible along a transatlantic path
extending from southwestern Russia to Romania and n.w. Spain, and then
from Charleston, SC across southern Georgia to Texas (Houston, Austin,
and San Antonio), and across n.w. Mexico.  More information about this
gooe event is given below, including a sort of many stations relative
to Steve Preston's latest (Jan. 4th) updated central line for the
event.  This could be a very well-observed event since the medium-
range weather forecast is favorable for the whole U.S. portion of the
path, and also for southern France.  The path, 87 km wide due to
projection of the shadow on the Earth's surface, crosses the northern
Caspian Sea in dawn on January 11 at 3:37 U.T.; the Crimean Peninsula
at 3:38; southern Romania and central Serbia at 3:39; southern Croatia
and northern Italy at 3:40; southeastern France (Nice) at 3:41;
southwestern France at 3:42; n.w. Spain at 3:43; then over Charleston,
SC, and Savannah, Georgia at 3:55 UT (10:55 pm EST Jan. 10 EST);
southern Alabama (Mobile), southernmost Mississippi, and southern
Louisiana (Baton Rouge at n. limit, New Orleans near s. limit) at 3:56
UT (9:56 pm CST); Texas and Chihuahua (and s. of Hermosillo), Mexico
at 3:57 UT (9:57 pm CST); and over central Baja California at low
altitude at 3:58 UT.  The predicted central duration is 8.7 seconds
with a 4.6-mag. drop; Bathilde is expected to be mag. 12.3 and to
subtend 0.056".

     Very detailed maps of the path in Texas, with parallel lines
drawn at 5-mile intervals and many dozens of observer home locations
plotted, as well as much useful observing advice and plans for
coordination in the region, can be found at Paul Maley's Web site at
http://www.eclipsetours.com/events.html .  Detailed maps of the path
(Jan Manek's limits and central line) across Spain, France, and Italy
can be found at http://www.meteores.net/occult/ .  A primer on timing
occultations, especially for beginners, can be found near the top of
my Web page at http://iota.jhuapl.edu .  Steve Meeks is organizing an
expedition from Jacksonville, FL to observe the occultation near
Savannah, GA; he can be reached at sameeks@astroscan.net .

     The spectral type A star is at J2000 RA 9h 25m 22.5s,
Dec. +04 deg. 17' 08", in northern Hydra near the Leo-Cancer border.
I was able to locate the star by starhopping in only a few minutes
Sunday night, starting at Regulus, then moving east to omicron and
omega Leonis, then following 6th and 7th-mag. stars visible in my
finder south to the target star.  See the annotated finder chart in
the asteroidal occultation section of the IOTA occultation Web site at
http://www.lunar-occultations.com/iota/asteroids/astrndx.htm .  The
56% sunlit Moon 114 deg. away should not cause any difficulty to
those in North America where it will be above the horizon.
See the updated path maps at http://www.asteroidoccultation.com ; this
updated path, in which we have high confidence from the accurate
Tycho-2-relative astrometry that's available now, is several path-
widths south of Edwin Goffin's nominal path shown at small scale on
the IOTA/Goffin finder chart.  For my calculations, I have used Steve
Preston's path given at the www.asteroidoccultation.com Web site since
he has used all available accurate astrometric observations obtained
up to Jan. 2.  His path is very similar to Jan Manek's path that was
calculated on Dec. 26; the times agree within a second or so and Jan's
central line is only 5 km south of Preston's, a small difference
considering Preston's 1-sigma error of 44 km (= half a path-width).
Keep in mind this path uncertainty; an occultation is quite
possible for a large fraction of a path-width north and south of the
path shown on the map, including cities such as Austin, Baton Rouge,
and Marseilles; but unlikely at places as far from the path as Waco,
Corpus Christi, Jacksonville (FL), or Turin, Italy.  Observers in
those places or farther from the path are encouraged to travel into
the path with mobile equipment.

     Besides getting as many observers as possible out to try to
time this occultation to determine Bathilde's size and shape (please
SPREAD THE WORD to potential observers in your area since this event
should be visible with any small telescope), we want to try to
coordinate coverage to prevent duplication of chords as much as
possible.  I plan to travel to the path myself, probably to the
Savannah, Georgia area.

    Stations for the Bathilde occultation of January 10/11

    Below is a list of observer stations sorted by distance from
Steve Preston's updated central line.  Distances are given in km
measured perpendicularly from the central line.  The time gives the
updated time (U.T. of Jan. 11) of closest approach, when the
occultation should occur, within an accuracy of about +/-0.1 minute,
at the location.  You only need to monitor the star for an
occultation within a four-minute period centered on the time of
closest approach for your location (to check for occultations by
possible satellites of Bathilde).  You can search for your city or
name with a word processor to find your time and distance from the
predicted central line.  If your station is not in the list, send me
the coordinates of the place where you plan to observe (in the USA,
you can just specify an address or highway intersection) and I'll add
that station for a later message. &nbsplease let me know if you plan to
monitor the star for an occultation, and I will send out a new version
of this list with your track marked as occupied.  This will help for
positioning mobile observers.  I will put items in the "C" (code)
column, to indicate commitments to observe from fixed sites and
weather probabilities, after I have heard from several of you.
______________________________________________

NOTE:  The table needs to be displayed and/or printed with a fixed-
space font such as Courier for the columns to line up properly.  In the
e-mail message, the lines are long enough that some (or many) of the
lines will wrap; I will send a .txt (plain ASCII text) version of this
to Rob Robinson so that he can place it on the main IOTA Web site at
http://www.lunar-occultations.com/iota .  As can be seen from the
list, observers some distance from the path have a chance to see the
occultation, and observers at least within the +/-1-sigma range
(distance 88 km N. to 88 km S.) are strongly encouraged to attempt
observation; observations to the +/-2-sigma range (132 km N. to 132 km
S.) could also be of value. Under C, * will be a committed fixed-site
observer, V = * with video, and m = tentative location for mobile
observer.  The station list is dominated by stations in Houston that
Paul Maley determined for last November's ill-fated occultation of pi
Arietis by (828) Lindemannia; his work for that event may be rewarded
by Bathilde.  For the benefit of Texan observers, I will make a
version of this list in miles to conform to their maps.  My adjustment
for the distance calculation was not perfect; the actual distances for
Europe should be 1 km south of the values given in the table.
