Two-layer model of 16 Psyche’s interior. Panel (A): The core is assumed spherical. The core becomes partially exposed for core radii greater than rmin  =  79 km, indicated by the dashed white line. Panel (B): The core’s shape is a rescaled outer shape. The core radius refers to the volume-equivalent spherical core radius. Black contour lines show dynamic flattening H and the red contour lines show the J2 gravity coefficient. The gray dashed contour lines show levels of constant outer density. The outer layer density is found by satisfying the mean density of Psyche.
