Initial Gelogical Maps of the AC-H-10 Rongo and AC-H-15 Zadeni Quadrangles of Ceres using DAWN spacecraft data
We used geologic mapping applied to Dawn spacecraft data as a tool to understand the geologic history of the Ac-H-10 Rongo and Ac-H-15 Zadeni quadrangles of dwarf planet Ceres. These regions, Rongo and Zadeni, are located between 22°S-22°N and 288°-360°E and 65-90°S and 0°-360°E, respectively. The R...
