Exploration of the Kuiper Belt by High-Precision Photometric Stellar Occultations: First Results

We report here the first detection of hectometer-size objects by the method of serendipitous stellar occultation. This method consists of recording the diffraction shadow created when an object crosses the observer's line of sight and occults the disk of a background star. One of our detections...
