The angular diameter of Regulus from the 28 March 1980 CTIO occultation
On 28 March 1980 an occultation of Regulus (= alpha Leo) was observed intwo colors from Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. The best-fituniform disk angular diameters (in milliarcseconds) derived from thesedata are 1.32 + or - 0.2 (yellow channel, lambda = 5768 A) and 1.37 + or- 0.11 (blue channel, lambda = 4356 A), in excellent agreement with themeasurement obtained through intensity interferometry and in reasonableagreement with a daytime occultation observed at Kitt Peak NationalObservatory.
