Extended Data Fig. 9: Spectral modelling of the brightest pixels, including organic species.

From: Fresh emplacement of hydrated sodium chloride on Ceres from ascending salty fluids

Extended Data Fig. 9

Species used in the spectral fits, retrieved abundance and Χ2 of the spectral modelling. The spectrum used for the spectral modelling is an average of the spectra of the pixels on the bright Cerealia facula selected on the basis of the absolute reflectance (median reflectance > 5 times median reflectance of dark surrounding regions, in the range 2.6 – 3.4 µm). The percentage are expressed in cross section (% of surface). Dataset used is described in Extended Data Fig. 10.
