Notes. λL and βL are the ecliptic coordinates of the constant angular momentum vector L; ψ0 and ϕ0 are the standard Euler angles at epoch JD0; Ia, Ib and Ic are the dynamical moments of inertia corresponding to the longest-, intermediate-, and shortest-axes; adyn/cdyn and cdyn/cdyn are the axial ratios of a dynamically equivalent ellipsoid; ashape/cshape and cshape/cshape are the axial ratios of a convex shape model; E/E0 is the ratio of the rotational kinetic energy to the lowest energy for the given angular momentum.

The epoch JD0 is 2456284.676388 (December, 23.176388, 2012).
