Spectral investigation of Ceres analogue mixtures: in-depth analysis of crater central peak material (ccp) on Ceres

A. Galiano, F. Dirri, E. Palomba +3

In order to investigate the causes of different spectral slope in ccps, different grain-sizes of Ceres analogue mixtures were produced, heated to remove absorption of atmospheric w…
