The analysis of lunar occultation of Vesta (1984).
The lunar occultation of Vesta (Oct. 21, 1984, reappearance) observed at Bisei Hydrographic Observatory, has been analyzed. The residual of the position of Vesta is 0.”19 for the new Japanese Ephemeris and is 0."36 for the old one. These residuals are within the original error of the ephemeris of Duncomb ( 1969) and the error of the limb correction of the moon. The determined diameter of Vesta is 450 km if the uniform disk model is used and is 530 km if the complete limb darkening model is used.
