  • Impact heat driven volatile redistribution at Occator crater on Ceres as a comparative planetary process 
    Schenk, Paul M.; Scully, J. E. C.; Buczkowski, Debra L.; Sizemore, Hanna G.; Schmidt, B.; Pieters, Carlé M.; Neesemann, A.; O'Brien, D. P.; Marchi, Simone; Williams, David A. (Planetary geologist); Nathues, A.; De Sanctis, M. Cristina; Tosi, F.; Russell, C. T. (Christopher T.); Castillo-Rogez, Julie; Raymond, Carol A. (Nature, 2020-08-10)
    Here we show using Dawn high-resolution stereo imaging and topography that Ceres' unique composition has resulted in widespread mantling by solidified water- and salt-rich mud-like impact melts with scattered endogenic ...
  • The missing large impact craters on Ceres 
    Marchi, Simone; Ermakov, A. I.; Raymond, Carol A.; Fu, Roger R. (Roger Rennan); O'Brien, D. P.; Bland, M. T.; Ammannito, E.; De Sanctis, M. Cristina; Bowling, T.; Schenk, Paul M.; Scully, J. E. C.; Buczkowski, Debra L.; Williams, David A. (Planetary geologist); Hiesinger, H. (Harald); Russell, C. T. (Christopher T.) (Nature, 2016-07-26)
    Asteroids provide fundamental clues to the formation and evolution of planetesimals. Collisional models based on the depletion of the primordial main belt of asteroids predict 10–15 craters 4400 km should have formed on ...
  • Pitted terrains on (1) Ceres and implications for shallow subsurface volatile distribution 
    Sizemore, Hanna G.; Schenk, Paul M. (American Geophysical Union, 2017-06-27)
    Prior to the arrival of the Dawn spacecraft at Ceres, the dwarf planet was anticipated to be ice‐rich. Searches for morphological features related to ice have been ongoing during Dawn's mission at Ceres. Here we report the ...
  • Top 5 elements on the surface of Ceres 
    De Sanctis, M. Cristina; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3463-4437; Shaner, Andrew; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7343-9343; Webb, Sha'Rell; Portillo, Kevin (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 2019)
    The front of the graphic includes a picture of the planet, a histogram showing the abundance of the Top 5 elements at that planet, and an outline of the Periodic Table highlighting the location of those elements on the ...
