dc.description.abstract The 11 December 1979 occultation of AG+0[degree symbol]1022 by Juno was observed photoelectrically from 15 sites distributed across the occultation track. The observations are well represented by a mean elliptical limb profile having semimajor and semiminor axes of 145.2[plus or minus]0.8 and 122.8[plus or minus]1.9 km, respectively. The corresponding effective diameter of Juno is 267[plus or minus]5 km, where the uncertainty has been conservatively increased to reflect the presence of limb irregularities clearly seen in the observations. Published radiometric and polarimetric diameters for Juno are 6% to 7% smaller than the occultation result. No secondary occultations attributable to possible satellites of Juno were recorded at any of 23 photoelectrically equipped observing sites. en_CA
