Normal Faults on Ceres: Insights Into the Mechanical Properties and Thermal History of Nar Sulcus

We characterized two sets of extensional faults that comprise the Nar Sulcus region of Ceres by applying a cantilever model for fault related flexure and derived flexural rigidity values for Nar Sulcus between 2.0 · 1015 and 1.8 · 1016 N·m. This range of flexural rigidity makes Nar Sulcus mechanical...
