(m) indicates a Miss observation within an event with at least 1 positive observation

Asteroid profiles only show the line of sight view at the time of the occultation.

The true size/shape of an asteroid in 3-dimensions cannot be determined from a single occultation.

Determining the Profile of an asteroid from a limited number of observations can lead to misrepresentations.

Asteroidal Occultation
