What is Ceres's manetic field like?

We dont know yet what like the magnetic field of the dwarf planet 1 Ceres is. No space probe had yet visited Ceres. But that will change in 2015 when the NASA:s Dawn probe will settle to orbit around Ceres. Dawn will reveal do Ceres have a magnetic field or not. Before the probe reaches Ceres it will orbit another minor planet the asteroid 4 Vesta for nine months from August 2011 until May 2012. If Vesta has a magnetic field Dawn will discover it too. Vesta is the second most massive main-belt asteroid. Only Ceres is more massive. Vesta may also be reclassified as a dwarf planet like Ceres rather than staying just as a small solar system body like smaller minor planets.
