For 15 slow-rotating main-belt asteroids, CITPM thermophysical sizes agree with stellar occultation sizes within about 5 percent for a majority of targets, supporting the method's use when occultations are unavailable, though several targets disagree by 10 to 20 percent.

Asteroid sizes determined with thermophysical model and stellar occultations
For 15 slow-rotating main-belt asteroids, CITPM thermophysical sizes agree with stellar occultation sizes within about 5 percent for a majority of targets, supporting the method's use when occultations are unavailable, though several targets disagree by 10 to 20 percent.
