Abstract
In this work we demonstrated that the thermal convection probably is not likely in the Ceres' crust. In fact, it is possible only for a narrow set of thermophysical parameters. This result implies that: I) dome formation (like Ahuna Mons) is probably due to the diapirism rather than thermal convection; II) deep brine reservoir are possible until now.
