Pole solutions for: (20996) 1986 PB

Discussion

• Years: time span for dense lightcurves only
• Dense LC: total number of dense lightcurves
• N 689: Number of sparse data points from USNO-F
• N 703: Number of sparse data points from Catalina
• Poles: error is ±10° in each value
• Period: error is ±10 units of last decimal place
• All Files: a ZIP file with original raw data, MKF data, all plots, etc.

The shape model is based on the Pole 1 solution

In the PAB plots:
Red dots indicate data from the sparse surveys
Other colors represent dense data based on MKF, ALCDEF, or generic

The pole plots scale from dark blue (lowest value) to red with maroon indicating the highest value.

The POLEREL plot uses the log10(ChiSq) values, sometimes with a multiplier
of the original value so that log10(X) is always greater than 0. This compresses the
color scaling at the low and high ends so that the extreme values stand out better.

The POLEABS plot uses the actual ChiSq values with dark blue representing 0.0 and
dark red representing any value > 5.0. There are 512 steps from 0 to 5, so each step
going from blue to green to red represents about 0.01 larger ChiSq value. The ABS plot
allows a direct comparison of each plot against all others.
