Mass
In 2001, Michalak estimated Interamnia to have a mass of 6.9×1019 kg. Michalak's estimate depends on the masses of 19 Fortuna, 29 Amphitrite, and 16 Psyche; thus this mass was obtained assuming an incomplete dynamical model.
In 2007, Baer and Chesley estimated Interamnia to have a mass of (7.12±0.84)×1019 kg. As of 2010, Baer suggests Interamnia has a mass of only (3.90±0.18)×1019 kg. This makes it more massive than 511 Davida, though the error bars overlap.
