Description of observation
  • Target RA (J2000): 273.762750 °
  • Target Dec (J2000): -15.25127 °
  • Gaia GMag: 12.7

  • Programme ID: CH_PR100021
  • Programme Manager: PAGANO
  • PI of observing programme: Benz
  • Title of programme: ANCILLARY SCIENCE - TNO/Centaurus with stellar occultations
  • Abstract: The program aims at searching for atmospheres around the largest TNOs, and for rings, jets, dense comas around Centaurs/TNOs. It requires photometric record of the passage of the planetary body in front of a background star, at a sampling cadence of ? 1s. Occultation duration depend on size of object, from ~tens of seconds to couple of minutes. The targets will be precisely identified few weeks before observations, because the occultation prediction requires the knowledge of the CHEOPS orbit with a precision that is not available before.

Mission Description CHEOPS (Benz et al., https://doi.org/10.1007/s10686-020-09679-4) is a European Space Agency (ESA) mission in partnership with Switzerland with important contributions to the payload and the ground segment from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

The satellite has a single payload comprising an ultra-high precision photometer covering the 330 - 1100 nm wavelength range in a single photometric band. Observations are made as part of the Guaranteed Time Observing Programme that is formulated by the CHEOPS Science Team, and the Guest Observers Programme through which the Community at large can apply for CHEOPS time.
