Radek occultation - 2010 February 15

Discussion:

The circle above is plotted at the expected 25 km diameter of Radek.

With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Hristo was north or south of the central line of the event.
The star is also known as TYC 0328-00328-1 but the positions in the two catalogs was materially different with the UCAC3 being much closer to actual path. The Tycho path was not visible on this plot.

The figure below shows the Tangra light curve of the occultation.
