Evaluation of Age and Rheology Differences as Causes of the Morphological Distinctiveness of Ahuna Mons [#1642]
Ahuna Mons appears younger and steeper than other potential cryovolcanic domes on Ceres. We investigate whether it is due to a difference in age or rheology.

Effect of Ejecta Deposition on Surface Roughness on Ceres [#2164]
Based on a test sample, the ejecta deposit is slightly smoother than its surroundings, somewhat smoothing its proximity, and may not efficiently erase craters.
