The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Density of asteroids (2012, background): “This suggests that these bodies are differentiated, with the presence of higher density material below the surface, e.g. , silicate or iron cores (Fraser and Brown, 2010; Castillo-Rogez and McCord, 2010).”
THE ACTIVE ASTEROIDS (2011, background): “, 2014), since Ceres is potentially large enough to maintain significant internal heat (Castillo-Rogez and McCord 2010).”
Geophysical controls of chemical disequilibria in Europa (2016, background): “…ocean worlds in the solar system, with extinct or remnant subsurface oceans, include the asteroid Ceres [McCord and Sotin, 2005; Castillo-Rogez and McCord, 2010; Castillo-Rogez, 2011]; icy satellites Ariel, Iapetus, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon, and Triton; and large dwarf planets including Pluto,…”
Chondrites as samples of differentiated planetesimals (2009, background): “8 Asteroid 1 Ceres displays a hydrostatically relaxed shape from which its internal 9 structure has previously been modelled (Castillo-Rogez and McCord 2010, Thomas et al. 10 2005).”
