Hubbard et al. (1985) have observed the occultation of a star by a ring-like arc of Neptune. The semitransparent, incomplete ring was located at a distance of about 67,000 km from Neptune. In connnection with the program for the Voyager 2 deep space probe to fly past Neptune in 1989 at this distance from the planet, it is urgent to determine the nature of this ring arc or arcs. The best approach to obtain the required information is related to an observation of occultations of stars by Neptune. In this context, a study has been conducted of six stars which will be occulted by Neptune during 1986 and 1987, taking into account their JHK photometry. The obtained data are presented in a table.
