Physical Properties
Even though Salacia has an inclination of 24°, it is not a member of the Haumea family since the near infrared spectrum is basically featureless and shows less than 5% water ice. The total mass of the Salacia–Actaea system is 4.66 ± 0.22×1020 kg. From the relative diameters about 96% of this mass should be in Salacia itself. Salacia has the lowest albedo and density known of any TNO that big.

Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or properties:
“Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
