Pole locations for Lutetia on the celestial globe. The positions of Lutetia on the sky for the seven nights of our observations are indicated by an  × . The opposite of the 2007 position is the circle on top of the  ×  for 2008 December. The poles found from lightcurve work are marked with asterisks, with the LCI pole (Torppa et al. 2003) shown as a diamond (our final pole, the KOALA pole (Carry et al. 2010b), is less than a degree from the LCI pole). The four wedge shaped areas are the uncertainty regions around our poles, with T and B indicating our two each possible triaxial and biaxial ellipsoid solution poles. Our rejected poles are marked as Bx and Tx at the far right, while the lightcurve rejected pole region is on the other side of the globe.
