Fine-grained Antarctic micrometeorites and weathered carbonaceous chondrites as possible analogues of Ceres surface: implications on its evolution

IR spectra of several micrometeorites (MMs) and Antarctic weathered carbonaceous chondrites (AWCCs) have been acquired and compared to Ceres spectra. We propose these samples as possible analogues of Ceres. This allowed us to define a more precise composition of Ceres and to suggest a possible evolu...

We propose these samples as possible analogues of Ceres. This allowed us to define a more precise composition of Ceres and to suggest a possible evolution of this body.
