THE RINGS of CHARIKLO under CLOSE ENCOUNTERS with the GIANT PLANETS
(2016-06-20)
The Centaur population is composed of minor bodies wandering between the giant planets that frequently perform close gravitational encounters with these planets, leading to a chaotic orbital evolution. Recently, the discovery ...
The structure of Chariklo's rings from stellar occultations
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2017)
Two narrow and dense rings (called C1R and C2R) were discovered around the Centaur object (10199) Chariklo during a stellar occultation observed on 2013 June 3. Following this discovery, we planned observations of several ...
Size and shape of chariklo from multi epoch stellar occultations
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2017)
We use data from five stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2016 to constrain Chariklo's size and shape, and the ring reflectivity. We consider four possible models for Chariklo (sphere, Maclaurin spheroid, triaxial ...
Dynamics around non-spherical symmetric bodies - I. the case of a spherical body with mass anomaly
(2022-02-01)
The space missions designed to visit small bodies of the Solar system boosted the study of the dynamics around non-spherical bodies. In this vein, we study the dynamics around a class of objects classified by us as ...
Refined physical parameters for Chariklo's body and rings from stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2020
(2021-08-01)
Context. The Centaur (10199) Chariklo has the first ring system discovered around a small object. It was first observed using stellar occultation in 2013. Stellar occultations allow sizes and shapes to be determined with ...
