Notes. Volume is given in km3 and density is given in g cm−3. The uncertainties of the volumes and densities are formally derived from the propagation of uncertainties of the SH deduced by Rambaux et al. (2022) using the limb data and DTM provided by Thomas & Helfenstein (2020). Deviations from the actual volume and density of objects may still be present, implying potentially larger uncertainties than shown here.
