Spectra of these bright areas in the Occator crater on Ceres are consistent with a large amount of sodium carbonate, constituting the most concentrated known extraterrestrial occurrence of carbonate on kilometre-wide scales in the Solar System.

Stability of hydrated carbonates on Ceres

Bright carbonate surfaces on Ceres as remnants of salt-rich water fountains

Nature, formation, and distribution of carbonates on Ceres

The presence of the hydrated carbonates indicates that their formation/exposure on Ceres’ surface is geologically recent and dehydration to the anhydrous form (Na2CO3) is ongoing, implying a still-evolving body.

Carbonaceous chondrites as analogs for the composition and alteration of Ceres

The mineralogy and geochemistry of Ceres, as constrained by Dawn's instruments, are broadly consistent with a carbonaceous chondrite (CM/CI) bulk composition. Differences explainable by Ceres’s more…

An aqueously altered carbon-rich Ceres

The surface mineralogy of dwarf planet Ceres appears to be dominated by products of rock–fluid interactions, such as phyllosilicates—some of which are NH4-bearing—and carbonates1–3. Elemental…

Evolution of Occator Crater on (1) Ceres

The dwarf planet Ceres (diameter 939 km) is the largest object in the main asteroid belt. Recent investigations suggest that Ceres is a thermally evolved, volatile-rich body with potential geological…

Fresh emplacement of hydrated sodium chloride on Ceres from ascending salty fluids

The surface and internal structure of Ceres show evidence of a global process of aqueous alteration, indicating the existence of an ocean in the past. However, it is not clear whether part of this…

Mineralogy of Occator crater on Ceres and insight into its evolution from the properties of carbonates, phyllosilicates, and chlorides

Ceres's global and localized mineralogical composition determined by Dawn's Visible and Infrared Spectrometer (VIR)

The Visible and Infrared Spectrometer (VIR) instrument on the Dawn mission observed Ceres’s surface at different spatial resolutions, revealing a nearly uniform global distribution of surface…

Sublimation in bright spots on (1) Ceres

It is concluded that Ceres must have accreted material from beyond the ‘snow line’, which is the distance from the Sun at which water molecules condense, and is consistent with hydrated magnesium sulfates mixed with dark background material.

Sodium salts in E-ring ice grains from an ocean below the surface of Enceladus

The identification of a population of E-ring grains that are rich in sodium salts, which can arise only if the plumes originate from liquid water, and the abundance of various salt components in these particles exhibit a compelling similarity to the predicted composition of a subsurface Enceladus ocean in contact with its rock core.

Ammoniated phyllosilicates with a likely outer Solar System origin on (1) Ceres

Measurements of Ceres indicate widespread ammoniated phyllosilicates across the surface, but no detectable water ice, which suggests that material from the outer Solar System was incorporated into Ceres, either during its formation at great heliocentric distance or by incorporation of material transported into the main asteroid belt.

A salt-water reservoir as the source of a compositionally stratified plume on Enceladus

Whereas previous Cassini observations were compatible with a variety of plume formation mechanisms, these data eliminate or severely constrain non-liquid models and strongly imply that a salt-water reservoir with a large evaporating surface provides nearly all of the matter in the plume.

An oceanic composition on early and today's Enceladus

The oceanic composition on Saturn's moon Enceladus is evaluated through calculations of thermochemical equilibria at hydrothermal and freezing settings. Conditions of rock alteration are constrained…

Carbonates in CM chondrites: Complex formational histories and comparison to carbonates in CI chondrites

Abstract– CM chondrites are primitive solar‐system materials that have undergone high degrees of aqueous alteration, resulting in the formation of secondary minerals including carbonates. Two…

We investigated the petrologic, geochemical, and spectral parameters that relate to the type and degree of aqueous alteration in nine CM chondrites and one CI (Ivuna) carbonaceous chondrite. Our…
