Description:
Observations of the September 11, 1983 occultation of 14 Psc by the asteroid (51) Nemausa were obtained at six sites distributed across the northern two-thirds of the track. The observations are well represented by an elliptical limb profile with a semimajor axis of 84.9 + or - 2.0 km and oblateness (1-b'/a') 0.20 + or - 0.05. The mean radius of 74 + or - 4 km agrees with the 1979 occultation effective radius of 76.5 + or - 4 km and the published radiometric radius of 75.5 km (Morrison and Zellner, 1979).
