Description

Description
English: Graphic showing the dimming effects of Chariklo’s rings on a background star.

Top: A diagram showing the change in position of a background star (Gaia DR3 6873519665992128512) relative to the double-ringed centaur Chariklo, during an occultation. An occultation occurs when a background object is temporarily blocked from view by a foreground object. During this occultation event, the star passed behind Chariklo’s rings, but not behind its main body. Bottom: A graph showing the change in apparent brightness of the star during the occultation event. This type of graph is known as a light curve. The graph shows the sharp dips in apparent brightness of the star over time as the rings of Chariklo (the largest-known Centaur) passed in front of it on October 18, 2022. Each dip on the graph corresponds to the shadows of two rings around Chariklo, which are ~4 miles (6-7 kilometers) and ~2 miles (2-4 kilometers) wide, and separated by a gap of 5.5 miles (9 kilometers). The two individual rings are not fully resolved in each dip of this light curve. The data show 1.5-micron light captured by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) using its F150W filter.
