ALERT: Possible Pluto occultation Wednesday night (2012/06/14 03:28 UT) from US East coast.

CONTACT: Leslie Young (layoung@boulder.swri.edu; work: 303-546-6057; home: 303-747-9161; skype: drpluto). Also see our planning pages in progress at http://wiki.boulder.swri.edu/mediawiki/index.php/2012-06-14_Pluto_occultation

SCIENCE MOTIVATION: Pluto's thin, nitrogen atmosphere is in vapor-pressure equilibrium with the surface ice, and changes seasonally. We've seen it double since 1988, and now we measure its pressure once or twice a year. The technique we use is stellar occultation, when a star passes behind Pluto's atmosphere. The atmosphere defocuses the starlight. By the timing of the fading of the star, we measure the pressure and temperature in Pluto's atmosphere at ~10 km resolution.

DETAILS OF TIMING: Topocentric predictions for the midtime depend on the combination of Pluto and star positions used, and vary by about 50 seconds for any location. The midtime also depends on the location, affecting the midtime by about 1 minute over the portion of the US East coast that can observe the event. Adding pad for Pluto's extended atmosphere and the chance of systematic errors in the star's right ascension, the recommended time is an uninterrupted run no smaller than 03:20:00 to 03:37:00 UT.

DETAILS OF LOCATIONS OF OBSERVABILITY: Predictions vary. Pluto's shadow is predicted to be observable anywhere North of approximately South Carolina in all predictions, but any location on the entire east coast of North America has a good chance of being in the shadow. Parts of Europe and Africa are are also in the shadow path. Pluto only subtends 0.1 arcsec, so small errors in the star position and Pluto ephemeris can move the predicted shadow path. Predictions tend to be good to about 500 miles, barring systematic errors. Multiple chords are critical for reconstructing, after the fact, the geometry of Pluto's passage. A mix of central and more grazing chords are most useful for most tightly constraining the geometric solution.

Pluto is very low and rising (e.g., ~20.2 deg at Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore). Observing farther west from the coast makes this even harder. You will need a clear view of the Eastern horizon. A modern telescope with accurate pointing may be invaluable.

NOTES ON EQUIPMENT: Observe with 1-second readout time if you can, and choose a readout mode (region of interest, binning) to keep readout time less than 0.25 seconds, preferably less than 0.05 seconds. Observe open, or in I band.

Accurate timing is VERY important. Our goal is 50 ms.

  • Accurate GPS times are ideal if you can do that.
  • Network Timing Protocol (NTP) can help if you don't have GPS times.
  • For other timing ideas, you can call Leslie Young.

We have a few specialized occultation cameras and experienced occultation observers. We may ask some of you if we can bring our own camera to your site.

To do: add notes on field of view, refraction, comparison stars.

  • Issues with PHOT camera: (1) Mounting.
  • Logistics: visiting scientist apartment, or B&B run by a board member's wife.
  • Overhead tests: First I choose full frame, 1 second exposures, and saved them normally using Maxim. Qualitatively, I got 1 exposure every 3 seconds. I then subframed to 256 x 256 and repeated, using my iphone as a stopwatch, and captured 20 frames in 40 seconds. I then subframed to 125 x 125 and repeated. Got 20 frames in about 30 seconds. This was all done in slow read mode. I expect better results in high speed readout, but did not try this. ... I do remember that my old Photometrics (prior to PI) camera, at a ccd school in Tucson, did have a demonstration of making that camera go fast. I think they probably disabled the shutter and maybe external sync. I don't remember the details. Photometrics became Princeton Instruments some time back. I suspect that the same feature may also be available in the Pixis 512B.

2012-05-17 Steve Conard (Steven Conard <Steven.Conard@jhuapl.edu>) replied to Cathy

Cathy,

Ideally I’d like to use the “new” 0.6 meter here at APL, but I’m not sure I can make that happen (last I heard, they are still working on getting it fully operational). I’ll see if I can get some help from Hal and Andy Cheng on making that happen. Other options for me are the 0.5 meter at JHU Homewood, but that is has magnitude limit 2 skies in the center of Baltimore—I can use that for sure. There is also a 0.8 meter at UMBC near APL, but I’d be starting from scratch making contact with them. There are also possibilities at U of MD (0.4 m), Gettysburg College (0.4 m), and U of DE (0.4 m?).

BTW, I’ve found that schools with underutilized observatories are eager to work with us on our asteroid observations—for example I’m going down to Randolph College the weekend before to use their Winfree Observatory for an asteroid occultation, and I’ll be teaching several folks how to collect data for us on that trip. If we could supply cameras/filters, we might be able to set-up a network of ~0.5 meter scopes with an educational tie-in (time is likely way too short to organize it, though).

I have an ATIK camera with a small, fast reading array I can use. It can go at 1 Hz with low noise (<10 e) at 12 bits, or 3 to 4 Hz at 12 bits with about 4x more noise. I have V and I filters available, but you can always give me the excuse to buy another.

I can also contact the folks I worked with last year at Alfred University to see if they’d observe with their 0.8 m, plus there is another private school in the Boston area that has a 0.5 m and has done asteroids for us before. I’ll put out a call for the northeast IOTA folks, and see who else can help out.

2012-06-06 "The telescope is the 31" Tinsley Reflector on Fan Mt.: http://www.astro.virginia.edu/research/observatories/40inch/40-tools.php The coordinates from that page are -78° 41.6' East Longitude +37° 52.7' Latitude. ... The best contact would be Mike Skrutskie (mfs4n@virginia.edu) as he'll be doing the observing, weather permitting. The current forecast is not encouraging; however, we still are a week out, so perhaps it will change. Mike plans to postpone his departure to CO to do this, though if the forecast continues to be as bad as it is, he may leave as planned on the 13th. Since he's driving, he has much more flexibility than if he were flying. .. They are building the camera now, so the deadtime is unknown. Frame times should be known to 50ms.

2012-06-05 Leslie check circumstances for Louiseville. Pluto rises about 10 deg at ~3:00 UT, or 25 minutes before event midtime.

2012-06-07 "Hi Leslie,...I checked tonight on the visibility of Pluto at the target time for June 14 using the Moon when it was very close to the same altitude and azimuth. It's a very close call. We have some trees to the south that may just block the view and I'll have to point the the telescope at the same HA and Dec to test this out because it's within a few degrees of go/no-go. ... We'll check this out more carefully and let you know tomorrow night if the weather allows. ... I have a mount for our camera and we could possibly get it on the CDK and working in time. However, I don't have GPS timing. We use NTP from a stratum 2 server for the exoplanet work with a jitter estimated at a few milliseconds. if that would serve."

2102-06-08 I pointed the CDK20 at the same altitude and azimuth as the Pluto event on the 14th. It looks like we have a sight line above the trees. The Moon tonight is so close that the field is bright. We should have clear nights this weekend and I'll take a few test frames to see what we can do at this low an altitude. ....The camera that's on the telescope now is an Apogee U16M with a Kodak KAF-16803 CCD. We also have a camera like yours with a similar CCD except its 1024x1024. The PCI card for it is missing (probably left in a PC that was moved). If we can't find it, then it would be a few weeks before we'd have a replacement. I should know sometime Friday or Monday.

2012-06-08: Emailed about potential suitability of facility camera and possibility of sending timing box (with email to Swarthmore).

The first column is the observing date from LT.  Then comes the occultation star name (short form).  
The next two columns are the J2000 measurements from a single frame (each one was imaged three times).  
Ns is the number of UCAC2 stars used (and kept) for the astrometric fit (strictly linear fit used).  
"seeing" is the FWHM in arcsec of the image measured from a random sampling of stars on the frame.  
FWHM is the same number just in pixels.  The last column is the FWHM of the occultation star itself.  
I didn't average these down into final numbers as that involves other decision making (weighted/unweighted, etc.).  
I have put an asterisk on the line for the best image of the 3-frame set. 
If you want to do a quick and dirty updated prediction, used the position from the line that is flagged.

P120614 - There is a brighter star 4 arcsec away (it's a UCAC2 star as well).

For the best images I have attached a 1 arcmin FOV image centered on the occultation star. In these graphics, the green circle is drawn with the size of the aperture used for the astrometry and its position is the location of the photocenter. The superimposed red line shows the DE421 position of Pluto (geocentric). The center symbol is plotted at the time of the event as listed on Leslie's watchlist email of 2012-04-03 5:48pm MDT. The other symbols are at a spacing of 1 hour. Here are some summary notes from looking at the images:

2012-06-10 from John Kielkopf, Louisville KY 20-inch. R-filter

We observed the Pluto field last night starting from the time it first cleared the trees on our horizon. This confirmed that we can target it with the CDK20 during the event, probably beginning a few minutes before midtime. We may also be able to get it with the RC24. There's new tree growth that obscures the horizon from that telescope now, and we'll cut that back before Wednesday. We won't know until then whether we will have a sight line, or if it's better than from the CDK20. Both telescopes have Apogee U16M cameras and will be running either without a filter or with the "Clear Blue Block" filter we use for faint star exoplanet transit photometry.

FITS images in a Johnson-Cousins R filter are on our website:

Call the cadence the time between exposures (cadence = exposure time + dead time)

It takes about 2.5 seconds to cross Pluto's atmospheric scale height, so the typical measure of data quality is SNR/H, signal-to-noise ratio per scale height.

SNR/H = SNR/image * sqrt(2.5/cadence).

SNR/H > 50, cadence < 1.25 s allows direct retrieval of temperatures per altitude => waves, heating rates. SNR/H > 20, cadence < 2.50 s allows model fits => overall temperature and pressure SNR/H > 5, cadence < 5.00 s can be used for geometric reconstruction
