Abstract
We determine the spin and 3-D shape of Camilla. The model fits well each data set: lightcurves, adaptive-optics images, and stellar occultations. We determine Camilla to be larger than reported from modeling of mid-infrared photometry, with a spherical-volume-equivalent diameter of 254 ± 36 km (3Ïuncertainty), in agreement with recent results from shape modeling (Hanus et al., 2017, A&A 601). Combining the mass of (1.12 ± 0.01) Ã 1019 kg (3Ïuncertainty) determined from the dynamics of the satellites and the volume from the 3-D shape model, we determine a density of 1,280 ± 130 kg · mâ3 (3 Ï uncertainty). From this density, and considering Camilla's spectral similarities with (24) Themis and (65) Cybele (for which water ice coating on surface grains was reported), we infer a silicate-to-ice mass ratio of 1-6, with a 10-30% macroporosity.
