The November 14th, 2014 Stellar Occultation by the TNO 2007UK126
Abstract
We report the observation of a multi-chord stellar occultation by the transneptunian object (TNO) 2007 UK126. The event was observed by the RECON network and other collaborators on November 14, 2014 UT from seven sites in the United States. With a diameter of about 600 km and orbiting at about 43.5 AU, this recently discovered object is listed as highly likely a dwarf planet. Some of its physical parameters could be derived from this occultation.
