  We explore the spatial distribution of organics on Ceres using the visible
and near-infrared data collected by the Dawn mission. We employ a spectral
mixture analysis (SMA) approach to map organic materials within the Ernutet
crater at the highest available spatial resolution revealing a discontinuous,
granular distribution and a possible correlation with an ancient crater on
which Ernutet has been superimposed. The SMA technique also helps us identify
11 new areas as potential sites for organics. These regions are predominantly
located within craters or along their walls, resembling the distribution
pattern observed in Ernutet, which implies a possible geological link with
materials exposed from beneath the surface. In one of these candidate regions
situated in the Yalode quadrangle, we detected the characteristic 3.4-micron
absorption band in the infrared spectrum, indicative of organics and
carbonates. By combining the spatial resolution of the Framing Camera data with
the spectral resolution of the Visual and Infrared Imaging Spectrometer using
SMA, we investigated the distribution of the 3.4-micron band in this
quadrangle. The absorption pattern correlates with the Yalode/Urvara smooth
material unit, which formed after significant impacts on Ceres. The association
of organic-rich materials with complex and multiple large-impact events
supports for an endogenous origin for the organics on Ceres.
