Scientific paper

Although an occultation by any specific comet, asteroid, satellite, or Pluto is unlikely to be observable from the ST, the scientific return from such an event would be great because of the superior signal-to-noise ratio achievable with the ST for occultation observations. We propose to observe occultations by these bodies with the ST, as the opportunites arise, to probe their atmospheres, determine their sizes and achieve other goals. With such diverse possibilities, one must examine each opportunity as it occurs and formulate an observing strategy to fit that particular case.
