Notes. Prediction
tables list event date and instant (UTC), the ICRS (J2000) star
coordinates at occultation, the closest apparent distance between star
and body (C/A), the position angle (P/A) of the shadow across
the Earth (counter-clockwise, zero at South), the velocity in
km s-1, the distance (D)
to the Earth (AU), R*, J*,
H* and K* star
magnitudes normalized to a reference shadow velocity (v)
of 20 km s-1,
longitude ()
of the sub-solar point, local solar time (LST), (
,
)
ephemeris offset correction to the DE418 and plu017 ephemerides in
(RA, Dec) for the central instant (see Sect. 6),
catalog cross-identification (uc = UCAC2, 2m = 2MASS,
fs = field star), proper motion existence and multiplicity
flags (see Sect. 4.4), estimated star catalog position
errors (

)
and proper motions (
,
). Positive/negative v
means prograde/retrograde velocities respectively, that is,
Pluto
s
geocentric right ascension is increasing/decreasing respectively. The
complete table set of 2008-2015 predictions for Pluto, Charon, Hydra
and Nix is available in electronic form at the CDS.
Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.
Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
