RECON: TNO occultation with 02GW32

Event between 02GW32 and star GA0640:08122417 with event index number of 258462

Geocentric closest approach at 2020/05/16 06:25:16 UTC

J2000 position of star is 16:39:19.9 -24:58:57
Equinox of date position of star is 16:40:33.7 -25:01:15
Stellar brightness G=15.0, use SENSEUP=128
Star is 93 degrees from the moon. Moon is 34% illuminated.
TNO apparent brightness V=25.7

[RECON map]
TNO is 37.2 AU from the Sun and 36.2 AU from the Earth.
The TNO is moving 23.5 km/sec on the sky relative to the star, or, 3.2 arcsec/hr.
The 1-sigma error in the time of the event is 636 seconds.
The 1-sigma cross-track error in the shadow position is 1551 km.
The sky-plane scale is 26258.2 km/arcsec.

The TNO has an absolute magnitude Hv=10.0
Diameter=212.8 km assuming a 5% albedo -- 2.6 sec chord
Diameter=86.9 km assuming a 30% albedo -- 1.0 sec chord
Dynamical classification is 5:4E
