Kuiper Belt Object Sizes and Distances from Occultation Observations [PDF]
There are several observational campaigns under way to detect kilometer size foreground Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) through their occultation of background stars. The interpretation of an occultation light curve, unfortunately, is affected by a geometric degeneracy such that one is unable to determine the KBO size independent of its distance.

Asteroid astrometry by stellar occultations: Accuracy of the existing sample from orbital fitting [PDF]
Context: Stellar occultations, greatly enhanced by the publication of the Gaia data releases, permit not only the determination of asteroid size and shape, but also the retrieval of additional, accurate astrometry, with a possible relevant impact on the study of dynamical properties.
