Notes. Most of these bulk densities are based on data obtained during space probe flybys, or an orbit around the body. The table gives previous size (volume-equivalent diameter) estimate Da and its reference, adopted density ρ and its reference, and the Tholen (T1) and SMASS II (T2) taxonomic classes.
