TAROT (Acronym for “Télescope à Action Rapide pour les Objets Transitoires”) is an automatic telescope, located at Calern Observatory, dedicated to g-rays bursts optical study; when available, it can be used for various survey programs.
The Alphonsina event on the 2003.12.22 has been treated in the special INFO n°44.
2003 (September to December) Observations
Observations are usually visual and negative, excepted when otherwise specified. ‘mp’ stands for the minor planet, ‘*’ for the star. All times are in UTC.

SCB was located in the J. Manek (MNK) predicted path and just at the southern edge of the S. Preston (PST) one. Very bad observation due to low star altitude and high cirrus clouds illuminated by the full moon. Several D and R, most of them spurious, except perhaps from 19:55:34.3 to 19:55:36.9 and from 19:55:57.2 to 19:55:59.8 (around the appulse predicted time).

JLX : No recording. Field visible only a few seconds before the event through a hole in the cloud layer.
MNK and PST predictions for the shadow path were in agreement (within less than 10 km). Chords are consistent with a circular profile of 114 km in diameter, in agreement with the
expected value of 110 km.

HMG was located just outside the MNK and PST predicted paths (both in close agreement), at the southern border, so no conclusion can be drawn.

2003.09.29 : (305) Gordonia / TYC 0004-00279-1 JLX
Station situated 1.3 km NW from MNK centreline and 8.2 km NW from PST one. As mp diameter is about 51 km, there has been a significant shift of the shadow path. Perhaps a tiny blink at 01:00:54.6 Observation interrupted by clouds.
2003.10.01 : (131) Vala / TAC +06.00337 JHP

Shortly before the event, JLX identified the target star with the binary ADS10622, with one component 0.5 Mv brighter than the other and 2.77” apart. So the shadow path has been duplicated, each track being separated by 4900 km and only the brighter component’s one crossing Earth’s surface. Calculation showed that the path would be shifted from Belgium anywhere on the south part of France and central part of Italy.
BOL : No real disappearance, only a brief dimming. As has been stated before, BOL perhaps observed the brighter component occultation.
GBL and PSE were in double station. MOP was observing at Mira Observatory (Brussel) with several other teams.

this can’t explain the observation.

STP : CCD drift scan. This positive observation reveals a significant shift of the shadow path relative to the last MNK up-date : St-Andrews Observatory was predicted to be at about one half path width from its northern border but STP registered a long duration event, relative to the maximum duration (5.9 s).
JHP comment : “when target star disappeared for 2 to 3 seconds, (…), I believed that I may have obtained a positive result. However, I believe the cause of the disappearance was due to atmospheric effects, such as a thickening of the mist”.
2003.12.14 : (231) Vindobona / TYC 2389-01522-1 BDJ CNS SNO trt
BDJ, CNS and SNO were in triple station, in the predicted path. Their negative observations show there has been a significant shift of the real path.

WSG : Observation with a video camera in long exposure mode (4 frames = 0.16 sec with 25 f/s). An event (depression in stellar brightness from 00:16:57.92 to 00:16:58.40, minimum at 00:16:58.24 ±0.1s), lasting only one exposure, is probably a scintillation artefact. An occultation by the asteroid can be excluded, as it is not confirmed by other observers, especially BLM, ca 30 km north, JGS, ca. 80 km south, the mp diameter being about 127 km.
PST predicted path was situated two path widths toward North from E. GOFFIN’s one. Negative observations (especially BUL’s one, situated in the initially predicted shadow path) show that the real path probably occurred between the two predictions.

Gradual D, instantaneous R. This positive observation reveals a significant shift of the shadow path toward NW relative to the prediction by PST: about one half path width,
since SUP was predicted to be just at its border, but observed an event with duration close to the maximal value (4.3 s).

Please send the reports quickly, about positive as well as negative observations !
It is necessary to send a report even if there has been no occultation for your place (negative observation). These negative observations can sometimes be of as great interest as positive ones : they can be decisive to determine the shape (“shepherd observations”), refine the orbit of the asteroid or discover un unknown satellite ! Attention, there is no need to send a report if the weather conditions have prevented the event observation.
Please DON’T FORGET to use the IAU format for the date, YYMMDD.
