A thin flattened disc (about 1:6) tumbling near its highest rotational energy state.
Where it stands
Still possibleIts tests haven't settled it: three pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Light-curve minima depths match an oblate body.
- Mass loss by sublimation flattens a body over time.
What would rule it out
- A light-curve inversion that excludes oblate shapes at high confidence.
