歐卡托撞擊坑(Occator,)是一個位於矮行星穀神星表面的撞擊坑,其引人注目之處在於,它是“亮斑5”(黎明號所觀測到穀神星表面最亮的反照率特徵)的所在地點。在早期凱克天文台觀測影像中就已經發現到它的存在,並被標記為“A區”[3]。
該撞擊坑以羅馬神話中代表農具耖的神明,也是農業與穀物之神刻瑞斯的助手歐卡托命名[1][2]。
科學家於2015年7月宣布黎明號在亮斑上方發現了煙霧[4],而且不止一次觀測到這種現象。這表明穀神星上某個地區可以維持氣體的存在,甚至可能是穀神星大氣的基礎。煙霧停留在亮斑附近,撞擊坑的大半個區域都被煙霧覆蓋,大大提升了亮斑由冰構成的可能性。這團煙霧極有可能是亮斑中的冰體昇華所形成,也提升了某種冰火山活動正在進行的推測。
但在12月9日,科學家宣稱穀神星表面,包括歐卡托撞擊坑中“亮斑5”的亮斑可能與某種鹽有關.。它們可能是包含了硫酸鎂的鹽滷;這些斑點也被發現與富含氨的粘土相關[5]。
