Caption: Figure 3.
As in Figure 2, the time delay in Myr between the ice table retreat with water ice alone vs. water ice table with salts of varying weight fraction as part of the overlying regolith is shown at varying temperatures. ∼155 K is the annual average equatorial temperature for Ceres given its current 4° obliquity, and ∼90 K is the annual average equatorial temperature if a Ceres-like body were at a Saturn orbital distance.
