Station Map for the Occultation by (640) Brambilla at Tuesday, 2011 April 12 (~ 18:43 UT)
V-Magnitude of target star TYC 0741-01511-1: 10.8 mag
Johnson B-V Colour Index: + 0.5
UCAC instrumental „pseudo-R“ fit-model magnitude: 10.5 mag (data from UCAC3)
The max duration is expected to be 3.9 sec with a max drop of 4.4 mag.
The event will take place at an altitude of 46 deg and at azimuth 235 deg. The sun will be at an altitude of -11 deg. (At predicted centre line for longitude E 13 deg)
There is a 1 sigma uncertainty interval of ± 0.75 path widths.
The probabilities to see a positive event:
Centre line: ~ 49 %
Path limits: ~ 41 %
1 sigma lines: ~ 15 %
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.
