Nice work there Gerald, really good even.
I really tried to find a mistake there, but you seem to have made a good estimate. A layer of liquid water might be possible, especially if there's small amounts of other radioactive elements adding to the energy budget as well. Before reading the paper mcgyver linked, I never did take the pressurisation into account, so I capitulate to the idea that Ceres indeed could have one subsurface ocean - but I still not saying it's there, even though I bet 'some' website featuring space related news quite likely will make a bold statement of 'discovery' any day after this. =) |
