Extensive evidence of landform-scale martian geomorphic changes has been acquired in
the last decade, and the number and range of examples of surface activity have increased …

Abstract The Lucy Mission is a NASA Discovery-class mission to send a highly capable and
robust spacecraft to investigate seven primitive bodies near both the L 4 and L 5 Lagrange …

The aim of this chapter is to describe available evidence for the existence of relict ocean
worlds. The focus is on Ceres as a clear example of such a world as indicated by the results …

Inspired by the recent results of the Dawn mission, thermodynamic models of rock alteration
and brine evaporation have been used to help understand the conditions under which water …

Ceres, the most water-rich body in the inner solar system after Earth, has recently been
recognized to have astrobiological importance. Chemical and physical measurements …

Before acquiring highest-resolution data of Ceres, questions remained about the
emplacement mechanism and source of Occator crater's bright faculae. Here we report that …

The otherwise homogeneous surface of Ceres is dotted with hundreds of anomalously
bright, predominantly carbonate-bearing areas, termed “faculae,” with Bond albedos ranging …

We present a comprehensive global catalog of the geomorphological features with clear or
potential relevance to subsurface ice identified during the Dawn spacecraft's primary and …

High-resolution mapping of Ceres, Vesta and the icy satellites of Saturn, Uranus and Pluto
reveals a rich variety of well-preserved impact crater morphologies on these low gravity …

The prominent bright deposit Cerealia Facula, Ceres, coincides with the central depression
(or central pit) of the recently formed 92 km-wide complex crater Occator. The central pit is 9 …
