A Fourier-Optics Approach to Modeling the 15-AUG-2018 Pluto Occultation
Abstract
Pluto passed in front of a bright star on 15-AUG-2018. This stellar occultation reveals properties of Pluto's atmosphere: its bulk abundance, its haze opacity and thermal profiles. We also report on a new technique for rapidly modeling occultation light curves.
