Here, we report disk-resolved observations of Ceres with SINFONI (ESO VLT) in the 1.17-1.32 ¦Ìm and 1.45-2.35 ¦Ìm wavelength ranges. The observations were made under excellent seeing conditions (0.6?, allowing us to reach a spatial resolution of ?5 km on Ceres?surface. We do not find any spectral variation above a 3 % level, suggesting a homogeneous surface at our spatial resolution. Slight variations (about 2 % ) of the spectral slope are detected, geographically correlated with the albedo markings reported from the analysis of the HST and Keck disk-resolved images of Ceres (Li et al. [2006], Icarus 182, 143; Carry et al. [2008], Astron. Astrophys. 478, 235). Given the lack of constraints on the surface composition of Ceres, however, we cannot assert the causes of these variations.
