Interdependence of Paloma’s spin and orbital profiles across the beat cycle (relative to T ₀, beat[BJD] = 2,458,836.1495). Panels (a)–(c) share the same x-axis (spin phase relative to T ₀, spin[BJD] = 2,458,836.9065), while panels (d) and (e) show the orbital phase on a common x-axis. Panels (a) and (d) present six-harmonic Fourier-series representations of the average spin and orbital profiles across the entire TESS observation. Horizontal slices through panels (b) and (c) yield the spin profile that would be observed if the beat and orbital phases, respectively, could be held constant, and panel (c) shows that the secondary spin maximum disappears at inferior conjunction. Similarly, panel (e) shows the evolution of the orbital profile across the beat cycle. Panel (c) establishes that the spin profile changes significantly near inferior conjunction.
