The wikipedia entry about oceanography may be outdated on Ceres, at least from my watching episode 2 of the 2024 BBC Solar System series. The NASA Dawn probe found the salt there is very short lived in vacuum so it has to be continually replenished so from that it is hypothesized there must be a salt water ocean underneath the surface which sounds more definitive. The wikipedia entry references a 2005 paper and 2007 paper, and the Dawn probe did the Ceres survey in 2015.
