Notes. We present the ellipsoids obtained using the observed rotational light curve amplitude (Δm = 0.264 ± 0.017 mag) and the ones allowing for bigger albedo spots, see Sect. 4.3. The nominal values of the parameters are the ones obtained from the optimal ellipses in Table 6. The uncertainties are given as the standard deviation of the Monte Carlo distributions shown in Appendix B for the two chords' configurations considered for the limb fitting. (a)Chord 8 is the only chord that has been shifted for this case, see Sect. 4.1.
