...could occur, if central pits show up...

It looks like there's actually "something high" under the bright spot!

Recent paper:
"THE POTENTIAL FOR VOLCANISM ON CERES DUE TO CRUSTAL THICKENING AND PRESSURIZATION OF A SUBSURFACE OCEAN."
http://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2015/pdf/2831.pdf


Having read that paper I'll float (he, he, he.. geddit.. no?)an idea that may be rediculously naive: wouldn't a major impact be good way for a pre existing a crack partway through the crust (due to the mechanism proposed in the paper) to be opened up and form a vent? The paper mentions impacts as a source of fracturing sans tensile cracking, why not combine them?

Some ceres maps I found around can help studying the bright spots:

The DEM has got to be considered very preliminary near "feature 5" (ie the brightest bright spot). For one thing we may be seeing more PSF than real structure, which would affect the calculation of elevations. For another, if, as recent reports claim, the brightness of feature 5 varies with time, that could also affect the DEM, since you'd normally assume that to be constant when calculating the elevations.

How is it calculated? And what does PSF stand for?

Basically you would combine images from different viewpoints (different frames from the rotation sequences). That contains depth information just like an anaglyph does. But if the details of the bright spot aren't reliable then the elevations you get also aren't reliable.

Well, then the DEM data in that area are totally useless. :-(

Better focusing, then, on tweets about #LPSC2015 in these days: there's a lot of talking on Ceres, and one tweet on the fact that the bright spot is visible above the rim (in unreleased images) and hence is probably a "geyser" ( http://twitter.com/Laurent_Montesi/status/...0697387008?s=02 )

Great find on the DEM -- I'm really surprised to see it released!

If a DEM is calculated from image pairs, I think positional accuracies are no better than some small number of pixels, right? Which is to say it's not really worthwhile to use this one to analyze the detailed rim and floor structure of the crater that the bright feature is in.

I'm not sure how these DEMs were produced, but in principal all the images from the rotation sequence could contribute simultaneously to the DEM, potentially yielding sub-pixel resolution of the topography. Also, the shadowing along the terminator might contribute further. Or it could be all shape-from-shading, in which case take with a grain of salt. Tracking common features in multiple images is tricky and error prone. Anyway, I agree that the bright spots are indeed so poorly resolved that I'd hesitate to make much of their DEMs.

The basic rule is always going to be... don't expect reliable results when you are looking at things close to the resolution of the data. For images, we can't interpret reliably if we have fewer than 4 or 5 pixels across the object of interest - and even more would be better. Stereo DEMs are even more removed from the raw data (the images), so their effective resolution is lower still. Their resolution will be determined by the spacing between common points, the identifiable points matched in the two images so parallax can be measured. If you look at the images you can get a sense of how far apart those points would be.

So please don't read too much into tiny details in images or DEMs.

the dem was extracted from the vertex plate model
baked the displacement using blender

To clarify... I was referring to the photogrammetry leading to the creation of the shape (or vertex plate) model. Given that model, the DEM is simply the difference between the shape model and the corresponding ellipsoid fit. Eventually that will be a geoid fit, but these are early days.
