Abstract

This paper investigates the equilibrium shape of the dwarf planet Haumea and explores the possibility of detecting its features through stellar occultation. Understanding the shapes and internal structures of Kuiper Belt Objects like Haumea provides vital insights into the early solar system's formation and evolution, which can inform future missions.
