Volcanic activity is the main process for heat-material exchange and circulation for
differentiated planets. All terrestrial planets in the Solar System, the Moon, the satellites of …

Ceres, the only dwarf planet in the inner Solar System, appears to be a relict ocean world.
Data collected by NASA's Dawn spacecraft provided evidence that global aqueous …

Several bodies in the outer solar system are believed to host liquid water oceans
underneath their icy surfaces. Knowledge of the hydrosphere properties is essential for …

NASA's Dawn mission revealed a partially differentiated Ceres that has experienced
cryovolcanic activity throughout its history up to the recent past. The Occator impact crater …

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 …

Large outflow channels on ancient terrains of Mars have been interpreted as the products of
catastrophic flood events. The rapid burial of water-rich sediments after such flooding could …

The gravity and shape data acquired by the Dawn spacecraft during its primary mission
revealed that Ceres is partially differentiated with an interior structure consistent with a …

Aims. We model thermal evolution and water-rock differentiation of small ice-rock objects
that accreted at different heliocentric distances, while also considering migration into the …

Ceres is a large water-rich dwarf planet located within the asteroid belt. Its surface displays
evidence of material sourced from a deep subsurface liquid brine layer within recent …

Several icy moons and dwarf planets appear to have hosted subsurface liquid water. Liquid
water intruding upwards into the icy outer shells of these worlds freezes, forming ice and …
