As published in Bull.Astr.Soc.India (2001)29, p.577-584, the timing software unfortunately did not work properly, and there has been a malfunctioning of the photomultiplier and/or the pulse counting system. Hence there is a delay in timing (>61 seconds) and uncertainty in the sampling intervals (ref: BASI 29, p.578). Such problems could happen anywhere unnoticed, but for other observations (here for instance, the visual one by Mrs Vasundhara at the same place ; only his timing is published in BASI 29, p.581). If the absolute timings are false, the durations are accurate enough. From the first lightcurve published :

       22 40 57.80 ±0.05s                    >

       22 41 00.60 ±0.05s                    >        22 41 11.20 ±0.05s

                                                      >        22 41 13.45 ±0.10s

Due to strong noise, the 2nd emersion is not as accurate as the 1st.

                                                                immersion plateau    duration 2.80s ±0.07

                                                                emersion  plateau     duration 2.25s ±0.11

       If, as it is looking like, the brightest component of HIP 66446 disappeared and reappeared first, one finds :

                                                      HIP 66446 A occn:                      duration 13.40s ±0.07

                                                      HIP 66446 B occn:                      duration 12.85s ±0.11

 

       First publication by e-mail (before 2001 March 19) was :

       22:40:57.91 ±0.2s                     >

       22:41:00.68 ±0.2s                     >        22:41:11.26 ±0.2s

                                                      >        22:41:13.49 ±0.5s

                                                      HIP 66446 A occn:                      duration 13.35s ±0.3

                                                      HIP 66446 B occn:                      duration 12.81s ±0.5

 

The shadow was running on the ground at 9.604km/h, henceforth the 0.55s difference means that the 2nd chord was 5.282km shorter :

1st chord : 128.696km

2nd chord : 123.414km

Other publications :

       22:41:57.91 ±0.2s                     >

       22:42:00.68 ±0.2s                     >        22:41:11.26 ±0.2s

                                                      >        22:41:13.49 ±0.5s

       As published by David Dunham, 2002 February 8. It looks like if some wild arbitrary correction (of a full minute) had been made, otherwise the original timings first published would be irreconciliable with other observations.

       Lecacheux thinks that the first "event" could be spurious, due to eye tiredness. The second "event" seemed real, with instantaneous disappearance and reappearance, and the brightness of the nearby comparison star GSC 2439 1091 (mv=10.4) seemed unchanged ; but this "event" arised some 5 minutes after the predicted appulse.

"The possible disappearance looked like a real event but occurred just as clouds were returning. I suspected reappearance through a brief semi-transparence of clouds near 02h 50:55.0/55.5 , but this R-event is highly more uncertain than the D-event. My observing site was at 4.5km N from the computed central line, the appulse was expected at 02:51:09.5, according to Preston's update."

       "From UT 21 27 55 to 21 28 27 I did experiments with the retinal blind spot of my eye. When I looked at a nearby star lying on the left margin of the field, I was able to switch the target star off. I did that several times and I enjoyed a full control : the apparent extinction saw perfect every time, and I obtained any desired duration.

       Clearly uncontrolled tilts of our vision axis due to tiredness are able to briefly put target stars on our retinal blind spot, and are possible of false secondary occultations."
