Discussion:
The circle above is plotted at the best fit circle of 106 km diameter of Arsinoe. An Ellipse fit gave excatly the same residual and did not look any better. With 3 chords we can be confident of the path of Arsinoe and that it was north of the predicted line.
The figure below show Jonathan's Tangra light curve of the occultation.
