Left: positive chords obtained from the sites indicated in the legend. Red segments illustrate the 1σ uncertainties originating from errors in ingress and egress times. Note that the large uncertainties come from the fact that the detector was at readout when the star reappeared. Continuous gray lines denote locations where negative data were obtained. Right: elliptical fit to the chords from the February 25, 2024, occultation. This fit characterizes the limb of 1995 SM55 as projected onto the sky plane, defined by the (f, g) axes with origin on the NIMA v10 ephemeris, at the moment of the occultation. The two chords obtained using the T100 and RTT150 telescopes at the Türkiye National Observatories are graphically indistinguishable in these plots, as are those from the two telescopes at Wise Observatory. The gray shaded area represents the 3σ-uncertainty region of the derived ellipse.
