Table 6

Thickness of the amorphous water ice layer on the surface, for various objects’ radii.

Object’s radius [km]	10	50	100	350	500
SP max. thickness [km]	10	2.50	2.10	1.50	1.50
SP min. thickness [km]	3	0.95	0.85	0.65	0.50

LP thickness [km]	10	50	75^*	30	20

Notes. LP thickness: thickness of the amorphous layer when only the LP isotopes are considered.

^(*)

: in the case of the 100 km radius object, a nucleus of 25 km radius suffers from partial crystallization.
