PLUTO-CHARON MUTUAL EVENTS V1.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: July 18, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17

During the period 1985-1990, the earth entered the orbital plane of Pluto and its moon Charon, and the mutual eclipse events were observed from ground-based observatories. A subset of these data are included in this data set, and more will be added in future updates. The current version contains photoelectric photometry data from thirty-nine events observed at Mauna Kea Observatory by Tholen, and CCD photometry data from fifteen events observed at Palomar Observatory by Buratti and colleagues.
