Geometrical configuration of a spinning and wobbling prolate spheroidal grain with notation by Das et al. (2010). The major axis O1O2 of the particle spheroid is placed in the spinning plane NO1O2 that is perpendicular to the angular momentum J. Direction of the light propagation k is set parallel to the Z-axis. We measure from Z the angle 0 ≤ Ω ≤ 90° to the magnetic field B, the angle α to the major rotation axis of the particle, and the angle θ to the angular momentum J; ϕ is the spin angle, β the precession-cone angle, and ω the current precession angle.
