Notes. Here, we consider the satellites as spherical bodies, therefore λs = 1. The specific angular momentum (H) and the scaled spin rate (SSR) are also reported.

(a)

The orbit of Ilmarë is unknown, and only values from the discovery circular are used here. The specific angular momentum and scaled spin rate were computed using a lower limit to the density of 1.11 g cm-3.

(b)

The specific angular momentum and scaled spin rate were computed using a lower limit to the density of 0.46 g cm-3, and upper limits to the component sizes.
