Occultations
In 1984 an occultation of a star produced seven chords that Kristensen used to derive an ellipsoidal profile of 210x170km. On 6 August 1989, Metis occulted a magnitude 8.7 star producing five chords suggesting a diameter of 173.5 km. Observations of an occultation on 11 February 2006, produced only two chords indicating a minimum diameter 156 km. All three of these occultations fit the ellipsoid 222×182×130 km suggested by Baer.
