Solar system astrometry, Gaia, and the large surveys – a huge step ahead to stellar occultations by distant small solar system bodies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 March 2018
Abstract
The stellar occultation technique is a powerful tool to study distant small solar system bodies. Currently, around 2 500 trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) and Centaurs are known. With the astrometry from Gaia and large surveys like the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), accurate predictions of occultation events will be available to tens of thousands of TNOs and Centaurs and boost the knowledge of the outer solar system.
