σ  (yr-1) 0.01 0.005 0.45

Notes. We take as typical value ν = 10-6   m2  s-1, consistent with a Fe/Fe-S composition. We use the formula (4) to estimate the tidal bulge ellipticity.

(a)

Coherent with Léger et al. (2011).

(b)

Coherent with the values from Nettelmann et al. (2011).

(c)

Hypothesis assumed.
