Testing the Hypothesis that Curvilinear Gullies, Lobate Deposits, and Pitted Terrain on Vesta and Ceres Were Formed by Short-Lived, Debris-Flow-Like Processes
Abstract
We use lab experiments (the behavior of liquid water/brine under low transient atmospheric pressures) and geomorphologic analyses to investigate if specific geomorphologic features on Vesta/Ceres were formed by short-lived debris-flow-like processes.
