Fig. 8

Same as Fig. 7 but for a Triton occultation observed at a geocentric distance ∆ = 29 au. The atmospheric thermal structure used to generate this light curve is based on the 5 October 2017 occultation, assuming pure N₂, a surface pressure of 13.8 μbar, and a Triton radius of R₀ = 1353 km (Marques Oliveira et al. 2022).
