Scientific paper

The present analytical model for the water regime of asteroid Ceres predicts surface and subsurface temperatures, water fluxes, ice depths, integrated water supply rates, and residual atmospheric/surface water, as a function of time, latitude, and regolith properties. The model suggests that ice exhibiting the Ceres overall albedo could persist in a transient steady state only above 80-deg latitudes, when the supply rate lies between 30 and 300 g/sec; the water loss rate would otherwise exceed the supply rate by orders of magnitude. The stirring of the regolith is able to alter the ice distribution only at latitudes above 70 deg.
