| aeq [m] | Gaussian | 3110 ± 50 | Levison et al. (2024) |
| k/Q | Log-Uniform | 10−x; x ∈ (3, 5) | x is uniformly distributed |
| Coefficient for YORP | Gaussian | 0 ± 0.0125 ; [−2, Eq. (14)] | Rossi et al. (2009) |
| Coefficient for BYORP | Derived | Eq. (11) | Contractive BYORP only |
| Density [kg m−3] | Derived |  |

| Initial semi-major axis [m] | Uniform | (1.5Rp, 2.5Rp) | Roche limit |
Notes. The diameters of Dinkinesh and Selam are volume-equivalent sphere diameters. In the density equation, P is the mutual orbital period.
