AbstractThe goal of the Taiwan-America Occultation Survey (TAOS) project is to estimate directly the number of Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) by measuring the rate of stellar occultations. Occultations of distant stars may also be caused by asteroids and this article describes how both types of occultations can be distinguished on the basis of their shadow ground speed on Earth and the observing angle.
