Radio Interferometric Observation of an Asteroid Occultation [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2018 Abstract The occultation of the radio galaxy 0141+268 by the asteroid (372) Palma on 2017 May 15 was observed using six antennas of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). The shadow of Palma crossed the VLBA station at Brewster, Washington.

Progress of radio occultation exploration of Mars
地球与行星物理论评Mars is the sister star of Earth. Studying Mars is important to understand its evolution as well as that of Earth and even the solar system. Since the launch of American Mariner 4 in 1964 and the first successful use of radio occultation technology to ...

High-order ionospheric effects on electron density estimation from Fengyun-3C GPS radio occultation [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2017 GPS radio occultation can estimate ionospheric electron density and total electron content (TEC) with high spatial resolution, e.g., China's recent Fengyun-3C GPS radio occultation. However, high-order ionospheric delays are normally ignored.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 The investigation of sporadic E or Es layers typically relies on ground-based or satellite data. This study compares the Es layers recorded in ionograms with those detected using GNSS L1 signal-to-noise ratio data from FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC radio occultation
