Phase dispersion minimization plot showing the minimization parameter as a function of the assumed rotational frequency. Minima at Ω1 = 1.669 day−1 and Ω2 = 3.339 day−1 correspond to rotational periods at 0.599 day and 0.299 day, respectively. Ω1 and Ω2 denote the two-peaked and single-peaked lightcurves, respectively.
