Green lines present the predicted shadow path's northern and southern limits, with the 1σ uncertainties in gray, for the stellar occultations recorded on (a) 2021 March 28, (b) 2023 February 17, and (c) 2023 June 24. The red lines show the predicted center for Huya’s shadow path. The green markers depict the stations with positive detections of the primary component, the blue markers represent observatories that recorded only the satellite, and the observatory denoted by the purple marker in (a) recorded both components of the binary system. The red markers depict stations that recorded negative detections, inconclusive results are shown in black, and bad weather (or technical problems) are in orange. In panel (c), the extensive distribution of observers over a large area reduces the ability to distinguish individual markers in regions with a higher observer density. Maps were generated by the Occultation Portal web page described in Y. Kilic et al. (2022).
