Scientific paper

Pluto is expected to occult two separate stars on June 23 and 27, 2011 (UT). Both of these stars are significantly brighter than Pluto in infrared wavelengths. We plan to observe the June 23 event from San Pedro Martir, Mexico and both the June 23 and 27 events from Hale A'a, Hawaii (47 km from Mauna Kea). We plan to use two telescopes at each site to acquire simultaneous visible and IR light curves. The goal of these observations is to provide tight constraints on the extinction due to haze in Pluto's lower atmosphere.
