  704 Interamnia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
704 Interamnia ("IN ter AM nee uh") is a very large asteroid with a diameter of 350 kilometres.
It was discovered on October 2, 1910 by Vincenzo Cerulli, and named after the Latin name for Teramo, Italy, where Cerulli worked.
Interamnia is the sixth largest known asteroid within Jupiter's orbit and was discovered surprisingly late for such a large object.

 Vincenzo Cerulli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He also observed Mars and developed the theory that the Martian canals were not real but an optical illusion, a theory that was later confirmed.
He discovered one asteroid, 704 Interamnia, which is named after the Latin name for Teramo, and is notable for its relatively large diameter of approximately 350 km, which makes it one of the largest bodies in the traditional asteroid belt.
A crater on Mars is named after Cerulli, as is the asteroid 366 Vincentina.

Occultation of GSC 23450183 by (704) Interamnia on 1996 December 17
The sixth largest of the known asteroids, (704) Interamnia, was observed to occult GSC 23450183 (from the HST Guide Star Catalog) by 10 teams of observers.
This lightcurve structure supports the presence of topography on the object as seen in the limb fit to the occultation chords.

 Buie: Occultation Prediction for (704) Interamnia, 96/12/17   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Asteroid (704) Interamnia will occult a 10th magnitude star in the early morning hours of 1996 Dec 17, as discovered by Edwin Goffin and reported by David Dunham.
At the time of the event, Interamnia will be 40 degrees above the horizon as seen from Flagstaff.
The prediction team consists of Ron Stone at the US Naval Observatory providing transit measurements, Larry Wasserman at Lowell Observatory is processing the measurements and generating the predictions and plots, and Marc Buie, also Lowell Obs., is coordinating the collection and dissemination of information (like this WWW page).

New masses of eight asteroids: (6) Hebe, (10) Hygiea, (15) Eunomia, (52) Europa, (88) Thisbe, (444) Gyptis, (511) Davida, and (704) Interamnia, were determined.
In most cases, the masses were calculated by means of the least-squares method as the weighted means of the values found separately from the perturbations on several single asteroids.
The masses of Hebe, Hygiea, Eunomia, Europa, Thisbe, Gyptis, Davida and Interamnia were determined from perturbations on, respectively, 2, 8, 3, 4, 1, 1, 2 and 3 asteroids.

 Interamnia Occultation Mar. 23 timed in Hawaii & Japan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The 2003 March 23rd occultation is the best-observed one involving (704) Interamnia, but it's not the first!
Below is a quick reply to Jim Bedient giving him (and now you) an expanded account of the successful observations of the Saturday March 23rd occultation of SAO 96908 by (704) Interamnia.
The link below shows the outline of Interamnia determined from several of the Japanese observations, and a map of central Japan locating the observers and the actual path there (the map there does not show the Maui observers like Hirose's map below).

 Ephemerides of the Largest Asteroids   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Except for Davida and Interamnia all of the asteroids are fit to substantially more data over substantially more oppositions than the ephemerides described in Table 2.
The perturbing asteroids included in the ephemeris of each asteroid are given in Table 4.The mass for Interamnia was the mean of two values determined by Landgraff (1992).
The mass for Davida is the estimate used by Viateau & Rapaport(1997).
