Thermal time series curve at 70 μm (top) and 160 μm (bottom) for 2003 VS₂. The black dashed curve is the scaled optical light curve obtained by rescaling the optical brightness to match the mean of the thermal fluxes. The grey solid curve is a Fourier fit to the thermal data. The reference for zero phase is at JD = 2 452 992.768380 days, uncorrected for light-time. Rotational phases have been computed using light-time corrected Julian dates and light-time corrected zero date (see caption of Table A.2 for further details). The uncertainty in the rotational phase is ±0.01.
