Discussion:

Included above is one of two DAMITfiles for (679) Pax. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Dave was east or west of the central line of the event. The DAMIT model cannot predict the size of the asteroid.

The figure below shows the Tangra light curve of the occultation.
