A New Double Star from Lunar Occultations: HIP 87306
Abstract
A lunar occultation of HIP 87306 (= ZC2564, star #2564 in Robertson's Zodiacal Catalog of 1940) observed on 2009 Aug 2 showed this star to be a double star with a separation of 0.086^2. Two video observations made in 2003 were subsequently identified and retrieved, enabling a measurement for that epoch to also be made.
