Fig. 3From: Uncertainties in physical properties of Itokawa-like asteroids widen constraints on their formation timeEffects of varying multiple material properties. The range of possible radius and formation time values for Itokawa’s parent body taking into account uncertainty in conductivity, heat capacity, and aluminum abundance. The properties are varied by the ranges of multiplicative factors given in Table 1. The variation of heat capacity and aluminum abundance lead to significantly larger ranges of possible formation times, with notably smaller minimum radius values, than when no variation or uncertainty in these parameters is consideredBack to article page
