Resurfacing processes constrained by crater distribution on Ryugu

Naofumi Takaki, Yuichiro Cho, Tomokatsu Morota +16

Understanding the geological modification processes on asteroids can provide information concerning their surface history. Images of small asteroids from spacecraft show a depletio…

Image registration for multi-band images taken by ONC-T onboard Hayabusa2

Toru Kouyama, Eri Tatsumi, Chikatoshi Honda +13

Hayabusa2, a Japanese sample-return mission to a C-type asteroid, arrived at its target 162173 Ryugu in June 2018. The optical navigation cameras (ONC-T, ONC-W1, ONC-W2) successful…

High-Resolution Observations of Bright Boulders on Asteroid Ryugu: 1. Size Frequency Distribution and Morphology

Chiho Sugimoto, Eri Tatsumi, Yuichiro Cho +34

The near-Earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu displays a Cb-type average spectrum and a very low average normal albedo of 0.04. Although the majority of boulders on Ryugu have reflectance…

High-Resolution Observations of Bright Boulders on Asteroid Ryugu: 2. Spectral Properties

Chiho Sugimoto, Eri Tatsumi, Yuichiro Cho +34

Many small boulders with reflectance values higher than 1.5 times the average reflectance have been found on the near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu. Based on their visible wavelength…

Development of a multispectral stereo-camera system comparable to Hayabusa2 Optical Navigation Camera (ONC-T) for observing samples returned from asteroid (162173) Ryugu

Yuichiro Cho, Koki Yumoto, Yuna Yabe +10

Hayabusa2 collected 5.4 g of samples from the asteroid (162173) Ryugu and brought them back to Earth. Obtaining multiband images of these samples with the spectral bands comparable…
