JPL#141 : 970c5e20-ddb3-11f0-547e-3f28dededba8 [db: observed]

Using prediction 970c5e20-ddb3-11f0-547e-3f28dededba8 for map and profile fit

Ellipse and circular profile fits to the timings (chords)

Auto-Fit Result: Size = 193 x 124 km a',b' = 96.7, 62.1 km X0,Y0 = -1197.7, 17.1 km Mean diameter = 155 km From 5 chords (CCD,VID) Chords to ignore: Fill: Grid: Show (close) miss chords: You can enter space separated chord numbers (example: 11 4 8) or a method like VIS to ignore all visual timings, or a time source like RAD and NTP (but not GPS). If the plot disappears, then there are less than 2 chords left (too much ignored, go back with browser). Check SiMDA for size and mass data. Check Johnston Archive for satellites.
