Example of phase curve of 1996 TL₆₆. Left: scatter plot of V(1,1,α) versus α. The line represents the solution for H_V and β as mentioned in the text. Right: density plot showing the phase space of solutions of Eq. (5) when Δm ≠ 0, in gray scale. The effect of the Δm may cause values between 5.0 and 5.5 for H_V, while the same is true for β ∈ (0.041,0.706) mag per degree. The continuous lines (red) show the area that contains 68.3, 95.5, and 99.7% of the solutions.
