Station Map for the Occultation by (859) Bouzareah at Monday, 2009 November 02 (~ 03:39 UT)
V-magnitude of target star TYC 2444-00105-1: 12.5 mag
Johnson B-V Colour Index: + 0.7
UCAC instrumental „pseudo-R“ fit-model magnitude: 12.0 mag (data from UCAC3)
The max duration is expected to be 9.9 sec with a max drop of 2.3 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 78 deg and at azimuth 107 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -39 deg. (At predicted centre line for latitude N 40 deg)
There is a 1 sigma uncertainty interval of ± 1.03 path widths.
The probabilities to see a positive event:
Centre line: ~ 37 %
Path limits: ~ 33 %
1 sigma lines: ~ 13 %
2 sigma lines: ~ 1 %
(Calculation according to Raymond Dusser, E.A.O.N. Circular #10)
PLEASE REMEMBER: Predictions are sometimes wrong. Please observe even with a small probability.
