Interpretation of lightcurves of atmosphereless bodies. II - Practical aspects of inversion

Methods of inversion that can be used in the determination of the three-dimensional shape or the albedo distribution of the surface of a body from disk-integrated photometry, assuming the shape to be strictly convex (kaasalainen et al. 1991, this issue), have been developped. Here, the practical aspects of the inversion procedure are studied. These methods are also applied to lightcurve data of 39 Laetitia and 16 Psyche
