Call for Observation: Occultations by Jupiter Trojan (17365) Thymbraeus in 2024
JOA 2024, Vol. 14, No. 3, Page 3 Author(s): Oliver KlösAbstract: Jupiter Trojan (17365) Thymbraeus is a possible elongated dumbbell-shaped asteroid at the trailing Lagrangian point L5. With its low density which is less than that of water, it is close to the point of separating. Its interesting shape was predicted from light curves and could be confirmed with measurements of stellar occultations. This call for observations presents six upcoming observable occultations by (17365) Thymbraeus until the end of 2024.
