Discussion:
The circle above is plotted at the expected 108 km diameter of Mnemosyne. With only one chord it is not possible to determine whether Ashley was north or south of the central line of the event. It is curious that the observed occultation is longer than the maximum expected suggesting that (57) Mnemosyne has an irregular outline.
The figure below shows the Tangra light curve of the occultation.
