Caption: Figure 3.
Limb profile for LE20171018. Shadow plane projection of occultation timing. These are tangent plane positions oriented as if looking down on the projected shadow as it would appear on the surface of Earth (see Appendix A for details). Orange circles are the measurements from Table 4; their individual (ξ, η) values are available in a machine-readable format (Table 17). The 1σ uncertainties, when visible, appear as half-size circles. The labeled lines show the track of the star across the object as seen at each site. The cross indicates the predicted center based on the final orbit estimate. The diamond symbol indicates the center of the fitted ellipse.
