Station Map for the Occultation by (58) Concordia at Tuesday, 2009 November 24 (~ 01:56 UT)
Trans-Atlantic Event!
Path is crossing SE U.S.A. too. Star at low altitude.
V-Magnitude of target star TYC 1313-01182-1: 9.8 mag
Johnson B-V Colour Index: + 0.7
UCAC instrumental “pseudo-R” fit-model magnitude: 9.3 mag (data from UCAC3)
DOUBLE STAR!
Name: HEI 114
Magnitude 9.5 and 11.5
WDS shows two measurements:
Year 1982 SEP 1.3 arcsec PA 328 deg
Year 1997 SEP 1.3 arcsec PA 337 deg
The max duration is expected to be 10.7 sec with a max drop of 3.4 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 53 deg and at azimuth 189 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -47 deg. (At predicted centre line for longitude E 05 deg)
There is a 1 sigma uncertainty interval of ± 0.59 path widths.
The probabilities to see a positive event:
Centre line: ~ 60 %
Path limits: ~ 45 %
1 sigma lines: ~ 16 %
2 sigma lines: ~ 2 %
(Calculation according to Raymond Dusser, E.A.O.N. Circular #10)
PLEASE REMEMBER: Predictions are sometimes wrong. Please observe even with a small probability.
