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…
Haze at Occator crater on dwarf planet Ceres
G. Thangjam, M. Hoffmann, A. Nathues +2
A diurnal varying haze layer at the bright spots of Occator on dwarf planet Ceres has been reported from images of the Dawn Framing Camera. This finding is supported by ground-base…
Surface Albedo and Spectral Variability of Ceres
Jian-Yang Li, Vishnu Reddy, Andreas Nathues +21
Previous observations suggested that Ceres has active but possibly sporadic water outgassing, and possibly varying spectral characteristics in a time scale of months. We used all a…
Three-dimensional spectral analysis of compositional heterogeneity at Arruntia crater on (4) Vesta using Dawn FC
Guneshwar Thangjam, Andreas Nathues, Kurt Mengel +7
We introduce an innovative three-dimensional spectral approach (three band parameter space with polyhedrons) that can be used for both qualitative and quantitative analyses improvi…
Photometric Properties of Ceres from Telescopic Observations using Dawn Framing Camera Color Filters
Vishnu Reddy, Jian-Yang Li, Bruce L. Gary +7
The dwarf planet Ceres is likely differentiated similar to the terrestrial planets but with a water/ice dominated mantle and an aqueously altered crust. Detailed modeling of Ceres'…
Olivine-rich exposures at Bellicia and Arruntia craters on (4) Vesta from Dawn FC
Guneshwar Thangjam, Andreas Nathues, Kurt Mengel +9
We present an analysis of the olivine-rich exposures at Bellicia and Arruntia craters using Dawn Framing Camera (FC) color data. Our results confirm the existence of olivine-rich m…
Global Photometric Properties of Asteroid (4) Vesta Observed with Dawn Framing Camera
Jian-Yang Li, Lucille Le Corre, Stefan E. Schröder +9
Dawn spacecraft orbited Vesta for more than one year and collected a huge volume of multispectral, high-resolution data in the visible wavelengths with the Framing Camera. We prese…
