Notes. The table lists: sidereal rotation period P, spin-axis ecliptic J2000 coordinates λ and β, volume-equivalent diameter D, dimensions along the major axis a, b, c, their ratios ab and bc, mass M from Brož et al. (2021, accompanying paper), volume V, and bulk density ρ. Uncertainties correspond to 1σ values. The values based on radar data (Shepard et al. 2018) are also reported. The b and c extents reported for the radar model are the maximum extents in those directions.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
