Editing 11 Parthenope (section)

==Mass==
In 2007, Baer and Chesley calculated a higher mass and density for Parthenope based on [[Perturbation (astronomy)|perturbations]] by the 90&nbsp;km asteroid [[17 Thetis]].  Baer and Chesley calculated a mass of 6.3{{e|18}} kg with a density of 3.3 g/cm<sup>3</sup>.<ref name="Baer2007">{{cite journal
