Abstract

We present an analysis of a stellar occultation event caused by a near-Earth asteroid (98943) 2001 CC21, an upcoming flyby target in the Hayabusa2 extended mission, on 2023 March 5. To determine the asteroid’s shape from diffraction-affected light curves accurately, we developed a novel data-reduction technique named the Diffracted Occultation’s United Simulator for Highly Informative Transient Explorations (DOUSHITE). Using DOUSHITE-generated synthetic models, we derived constraints on (98943) 2001 CC21’s shadow shape from the single-chord occultation data. Our results suggest a significant elongation of the shadow with an axis ratio of $b/a = 0.37\pm 0.09$. This shape could be crucial for planning Hayabusa2’s high-speed flyby to optimise the limited imaging opportunities.

亚千米级小行星（98943）2001 CC21 2023 年 3 月 5 日恒星掩星的衍射模型

我们介绍了对一颗近地小行星（98943）2001 CC21引起的恒星掩星事件的分析，该小行星是隼鸟2号（Hayabusa2）延伸任务中即将于2023年3月5日飞越的目标。为了从受衍射影响的光曲线中准确地确定小行星的形状，我们开发了一种新颖的数据还原技术，名为 "衍射掩星高信息瞬变探索联合模拟器"（DOUSHITE）。利用 DOUSHITE 生成的合成模型，我们从单弦掩星数据中得出了 (98943) 2001 CC21 的阴影形状约束条件。我们的结果表明影子有明显的拉长，轴比为$b/a = 0.37\pm 0.09$。这种形状对于规划隼鸟2号的高速飞越以优化有限的成像机会至关重要。
