Stellar Occultations by (624) Hektor and Skamandrios, October 2022 - March 2023

JOA 2022, Vol. 12, No. 4, Page 3

Author(s): Oliver Klös

Abstract: Between October 2022 and March 2023, Jupiter's Trojan (624) Hektor and its moon Skamandrios will go through their retrograde phase. Especially, stellar occultations close to the stationary points offer the possibility to obtain high-resolution data on (624) Hektor and to detect the satellite. 19 events with stars brighter than 15th magnitude are observable during this period.
