ESOP 2026 II Asteroid-Moons



Research turned up only one website that regularly publishes
ephemerides about mutual events at binary asteroids.
It´s at the russian Sternberg Institute:

Unfortunately most of the moons are to small for photometry with
amateur-equipment

The Ephermerides at the Sternberg Institute make only sense
for 5 binarys


An other usefull source are the light-curves on the page of Roul Behrend:

After one rotation around the sun eclipsing binary will have a
compareable geometry.
...but only eclipsing one... occultations change the geometry:


Typical for mutual events is a v-shaped lightcurve:
