Ornamenta occultation__ 20160711

Discussion:

The DAMIT model has been plotted to fit the observed chords.

The chord from Gordon is longer than we would expect. We do not currently have a light curve to verify it.

The event is to the southeast of the predicted path.

The figures below show the Tangra light curve of the occultation.
