                         the dwarf planet (1) Ceres that were observed from Brazil on 2010 
                         August 17, and from the USA on 2013 October 25. Four positive 
                         detections were obtained for the 2010 occultation, and nine for 
                         the 2013 occultation. Elliptical models were adjusted to the 
                         observed chords to obtain Ceres' size and shape. Two limb-fitting 
                         solutions were studied for each event. The first one is a nominal 
                         solution with an indeterminate polar aspect angle. The second one 
                         was constrained by the pole coordinates as given by Drummond et 
                         al. Assuming a Maclaurin spheroid, we determine an equatorial 
                         diameter of 972 ± 6 km and an apparent oblateness of 0.08 ± 0.03 
                         as our best solution. These results are compared to all available 
                         size and shape determinations for Ceres made so far, and shall be 
                         confirmed by the NASA's Dawn space mission.",
