| Abstract: | Our understanding of the composition of Ceres is driven by remote sensing of its surface. We review spectral observations of Ceres over wavelengths from the ultraviolet to the radio, as well as non-spectral data such as thermal inertia, photometric properties, radar experiments, and surface variability. We also discuss the closest likely meteorite analogs to Ceres and consider the likelihood that material from Ceres could be delivered to Earth. |
