Caption: Figure 5.

Convex shape models obtained from lightcurves based on the rotational model described in Table 2. The top panel shows the model with the angular momentum direction (λ, β) = (225°,−43°), and the bottom panel shows the mirror solution with (λ, β) = (80°, −30°). These convex shape models are available in a triangulated plate format as the data behind the figure.
