| Homogeneous | 1.83 | 1.98 | 12.40 | ≈9.7 | ≈43.8 | ≈17.3 | - | - | No relation with the observational RA/Dec periodicity of 270 h |
| Slightly inhomogeneous (near prolate). Example. | 1.90 | 1.905 | 12.40 | ≈11.9 | ≈270 | ≈13 | 0.5 | 0.02 | No coincidence between theoretical and observational periodograms of the spin axis coordinates. |
| Inhomogeneous case | I y | 0.96 + 0.99 Iy | 12.40 | ≈6.35 | ≈13 | ≈270 | 0.94 | 0.82 | Best set of parameters in terms of the K-S probability from RA data is different from the best set of parameters deduced from Dec data. Inertia moments cannot be constrained. |
