The Tectonics of Ceres and Vesta
Abstract
Images of Vesta and Ceres taken by the Dawn spacecraft revealed large-scale linear structural features on the surface of both asteroids. We evaluate the morphology of the Vesta and Ceres structures to determine 1) what processes caused them to form and 2) what implications this has for the history of Vesta and Ceres as planetary bodies.
