Previous: 3.1 Basics
Our aim is to compute a more realistic rate of occultations by KBOs (or
a more confident threshold of KBO detection) than computed in
section 2. Two points were not very realistic in the
previous model of diffraction by a KBO:
we have assumed (i) a perfectly circular object and
(ii) the star is a point
source. We thus discuss the following two provisos:
