The brightnesses of Ceres and Vesta were observed at 3 mm wavelength. For Ceres, pure rock cannot reproduce the observed values, and a dust layer is required, much similar to lunar material. For Vesta, its different thermal characteristics appear to require a more compacted layer of material on its surface.
