Sigelinde occultation__ 2014 September  02

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 77 km diameter of Sigelinde. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Jonathan was north or south of the central line of the event so it has been drawn on the observed chord.

The figure below shows the Limovie light curve of the occultation.
