Over the course of the three years, the SDSS Supernova Survey discovered and measured multi-band lightcurves for about 500 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernovae in the redshift range z = 0.05 - 0.4. (sdss.org)
The shape and spin axis orientation of a minor planet can be determined if a sufficient number of lightcurve data are available. (alcdef.org)
However, for modeling of shapes and spin axis, and for further development of theories regarding binary formation, tumbling, and the role of the YORP effect, researchers need full access to the complete lightcurve data sets, not just the results of the analysis. (alcdef.org)
