Caption: Figure 3.

Sample of (54827) 2001 NQ8's photometric data (symbols) fitted with synthetic light curves based on the convex shape model (solid line). We used the formally best-fit model with P2 pole orientation ﹩(\lambda ,\beta )=(242^\circ ,-46^\circ )﹩ in ecliptic longitude and latitude, and sidereal rotation period ﹩P=5.877185\,\mathrm{hr}﹩. The viewing and illumination geometry is given by the aspect angle θ, the solar aspect angle ﹩{\theta }_{0}﹩, and the solar phase angle α.
