Pluto-Charon Mutual Events

During the period 1985-1990, the earth entered the orbital plane of Pluto and its moon Charon, and the mutual eclipse events were observed from ground-based observatories. A subset of these data are included in this data set, including photoelectric photometry data from thirty-nine events observed at Mauna Kea Observatory by Tholen, and CCD photometry data from fifteen events observed at Palomar Observatory by Buratti and colleagues.
