Notes.RdR denotes the core-shell transition radius. ΔEEsec is the necessary energy to drive the change in the quadrupole moment to give raise to the observed period, as a fraction of the available energy, calculated considering different shells including the point at which the observed period matches the calculated, i.e., RdR. Results with Δ EEsec < 1 are highlighted in bold. RX J2130.6+4710 is presented with errors, as mentioned in Sect. 3.2
