Three Stellar Occultations by the Plutino Object (84922) 2003 VS2
Abstract
We present findings from three world wide observing campaigns that resulted in the detection of two single-chord (in December 2013 and March 2014) and one multi-chord stellar occultation (in November 2014) by the plutino object (84922) 2003 VS2. Results show that the derived 3D shape has a triaxial appearance which is not consistent with a Jacobi triaxial equilibrium figure, as is the case for the dwarf planet Haumea.
