Density profiles needed to obtain various J2 values. The ADAM shape is used with fixed total mass m1 = 7.78 × 1018 kg. Left: Homogeneous body with ρ = 4.11 g cm−3, and nominal J2 = 0.1590. Middle: Differentiated body with iron core + silicate mantle (ρ = 8 and 3 g cm−3), and slightly lower J2 = 0.1166; the core is spherical () and the mantle irregular. Right: Extreme example with iron core + icy mantle (ρ = 8 and 1 g cm−3), and J2 = 0.0423 (not realistic, however). The body is always plotted as a section with z < 0 to see its interior.
