Abstract (from CDS):

Serendipitous stellar occultation search is so far the only way to detect the existence of very small, very dim, remote objects in the Solar system. To date, however, there are only very few reported detections for trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) in optical bands. In the X-ray band, with the RXTE/PCA data of Sco X-1 taken from 2007 June to 2009 October, we found one possible X-ray occultation event. We discuss the veracity and properties of this event, and suggest upper limits to the size distribution of TNOs at hectometre size and of main-belt asteroids at decametre size.
