Figure 7: Map of deviation scalars (r) for Models 1 and 2 shown in rectangular projections of target-centered longitude and latitude, which are defined with respect to the body-fixed, principal-axis coordinate system. Longitude increases opposite to the sense of rotation such that the longitude of the sub-radar point leads rotation phase by the angle psi, which is about 5 degrees for both models. The approximate target-centered longitudes of the Earth during lightcurve extrema are indicated along the top (M1 = Max 1, M2 = Max 2, m1 = min 1, m2 = min 2). The r = 0 contour is drawn for clarity.
