Small Bodies Occultations

This data set is intended to include all reported timings of observed asteroid, comet nucleus, planet, and planetary satellite occultation events made by observers from around the world. Included are occultation axes derived from those timings, and (wherever possible) volume-equivalent diameters derived from fitting to shape models. This version contains 9729 occultations. It is complete through to June 2023, with partial observations up until December 2023.
