Abstract
The occultation of the bright star π Arietis (HIP 13165) by the
asteroid (828) Lindemannia was recorded by 10 observers in Texas on
November 10, 2002. Clouds hampered many more potential observers. Nine
disappearances, ten reappearances, and 2 near misses are reported. A
least-squares fit to the data results in a 52.6 km × 50.8 km
ellipse with the major axis oriented at a PA of 90.0o. However,
deviations from a perfect ellipse were observed.
