  abstract = {Context. With an estimated diameter in the 320-350 km range, (704)},
={Interamnia is the fifth largest main belt asteroid and one of the few, bodies that fills the gap in size between the four largest bodies with D, &gt; 400 km (Ceres, Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea) and the numerous smaller, bodies with diameter ≤200 km. However, despite its large size, little is, known about the shape and spin state of Interamnia and, therefore, about, its bulk composition and past collisional evolution. <BR /> Aims: We, aimed to test at what size and mass the shape of a small body departs, from a nearly ellipsoidal equilibrium shape (as observed in the case of, the four largest asteroids) to an irregular shape as routinely observed, in the case of smaller (D ≤ 200 km) bodies. <BR /> Methods: We observed, Interamnia as part of our ESO VLT/SPHERE large program (ID: 199.C-0074), at thirteen different epochs. In addition, several new optical, lightcurves were recorded. These data, along with stellar occultation, data from the literature, were fed to the All-Data Asteroid Modeling, algorithm to reconstruct the 3D-shape model of Interamnia and to, determine its spin state. <BR /> Results: Interamnia's volume-equivalent, diameter of 332 ± 6 km implies a bulk density of ρ = 1.98 ± 0.68 g, like Ceres and Hygiea, - contains a high fraction of water ice, consistent with the paucity of, apparent craters. Our observations reveal a shape that can be well, approximated by an ellipsoid, and that is compatible with a fluid, hydrostatic equilibrium at the 2σ level. <BR /> Conclusions: The rather, regular shape of Interamnia implies that the size and mass limit, under, which the shapes of minor bodies with a high amount of water ice in the, subsurface become irregular, has to be searched among smaller (D ≤ 300, km) less massive (m ≤ 3 × 10<SUP>19</SUP> kg) bodies. <P />The reduced, images are only available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to <A, href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr</A>, (ftp://130.79.128.5) or via <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-, bin/cat/J/A+A/633/A65">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-, bin/cat/J/A+A/633/A65</A> <P />Based on observations made with ESO, Telescopes at the La Silla Paranal Observatory under program 199.C-0074, (PI: Vernazza)., 10.1051/0004-6361/201936639, eprint: arXiv:1911.13049},
