Triaxial ellipsoid dimensions and rotational pole of 2 Pallas from two stellar occultations

From three stellar occultations we show that it is possible to derive unique triaxial ellipsoid dimensions and a rotational pole for an asteroid. With the two occultations for Pallas, we examine the locus of solutions that fall along a curve in a seven-dimensional parameter space. It appears from th...
