Journal ArticleDOI
Impact heat driven volatile redistribution at Occator crater on Ceres as a comparative planetary process
Paul M. Schenk,Jennifer E.C. Scully,Debra Buczkowski,Hanna G. Sizemore,Britney E. Schmidt,C. M. Pieters,Adrian Neesemann,David P. O'Brien,Simone Marchi,Dewight Williams,Andreas Nathues,M. C. De Sanctis,Federico Tosi,Christopher T. Russell,Julie Castillo-Rogez,Carol A. Raymond +15 more
TL;DR: Stereo imaging and topographic maps of Occator crater are shown revealing the influence of crustal composition on impact related melt and hydrothermal processes, and features to those on Mars, Earth and the Moon are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
High resolution observation of 17P/ Holmes during the outburst event in 2007
TL;DR: In this article, the authors attempted to determine the cause of the 17P/Holmes outburst by acquiring and analyzing high-resolution spectra of the comet, which indicated that in the days around the outburst the water production was exceptionally high for that heliocentric distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mineralogical analysis of the Ac-H-6 Haulani quadrangle of the dwarf planet Ceres

De Sanctis,Martin Hoffmann,Andrea Longobardo,Andreas Nathues,Andrea Raponi,Guneshwar Thangjam,E. Ammannito,Katrin Krohn,Lucy A. McFadden,Ernesto Palomba,Carle M. Pieters,Katrin Stephan,Carol A. Raymond,Christopher T. Russell +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a broader area that includes other surface features of interest, with an emphasis on mineralogy as inferred from data obtained by Dawn's Visible InfraRed mapping spectrometer (VIR), combined with multispectral image products from the Dawn Framing Camera (FC) to enable a clear correlation with specific geologic features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the spatial distribution of tree species with fragmented populations from abundance data
TL;DR: RF is confirmed as the most accurate algorithm thanks to bootstrap-resampling, trees averaging, randomization of predictors and smoother response surface when dealing with species characterized by narrow and specialized niches.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ma-Miss instrument performance, I: Analysis of rocks powders by Martian VNIR spectrometer
S. De Angelis,M. C. De Sanctis,Eleonora Ammannito,Cristian Carli,Tatiana Di Iorio,Francesca Altieri +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the VNIR measurements and spectral parameters derived from the spectra acquired with the Ma_miss breadboard and with a second laboratory setup, and show that the trends observed with Ma_Miss breadboard for NIR and VnIR slopes and for the reflectance are clearly consistent with the trend observed with the spectro-goniometer setup, although small differences are seen that can be explained with the different viewing geometry of the two instruments.
