Abstract

Unusual deposits of “Dark Material” (DM) on Vesta’s surface were recently discovered by the Dawn Mission [1,2]. A focused study of these deposits is underway within the Dawn team and the three preceeding presentations in this session [3,4,5] treat different aspects (geological, morphological and compositional) of the Dawn observations analysis. This report is a synthesis of these findings, presents some further analysis and interprets them in terms of origin( s) and processes.
