Discussion:
The circle above is plotted at the expected 134 km diameter of Eukrate. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Jonathan was north or south of the central line of the event. However, assuming the expected size is approximately correct then the measured being close to predcited maximum, would suggest that the chord might lie close to the central portion of the asteroid.
The figure below shows the Limovie lightcurve.
