New Candidates for Organic-rich Regions on Ceres
J. L. Rizos, J. M. Sunshine, R. T. Daly +7
We explore the spatial distribution of organics on Ceres using the visible and near-infrared data collected by the Dawn mission. We employ a spectral mixture analysis (SMA) approac…
GAUSS -- A Sample Return Mission to Ceres
Xian Shi, Julie Castillo-Rogez, Henry Hsieh +26
The goal of Project GAUSS is to return samples from the dwarf planet Ceres. Ceres is the most accessible ocean world candidate and the largest reservoir of water in the inner solar…
Spectrophotometric Modeling and Mapping of Ceres
Jian-Yang Li, Stefan E. Schröder, Stefano Mottola +8
We report a comprehensive analysis of the global spectrophotometric properties of Ceres using Dawn Framing Camera images collected from April to June 2015 during the RC3 and Survey…
Spectral properties and geology of bright and dark material on dwarf planet Ceres
G. Thangjam, A. Nathues, T. Platz +5
Variations and spatial distributions of bright and dark material on dwarf planet Ceres play a key role in understanding the processes that have led to its present surface compositi…
CASTAway: An Asteroid Main Belt Tour and Survey
N. E. Bowles, C. Snodgrass, A Gibbings +42
CASTAway is a mission concept to explore our Solar System's main asteroid belt. Asteroids and comets provide a window into the formation and evolution of our Solar System and the c…
In-flight Calibration of the Dawn Framing Camera
S. E. Schröder, T. Maue, P. Gutiérrez Marqués +5
We present a method for calibrating images acquired by the Dawn Framing Camera (FC) that is based on the results of an in-flight calibration campaign performed during the cruise fr…
