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…
The Western Bulge of 162173 Ryugu Formed as a Result of a Rotationally Driven Deformation Process
Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Eri Tatsumi, Hideaki Miyamoto +26
162173 Ryugu, the target of Hayabusa2, has a round shape with an equatorial ridge, which is known as a spinning top-shape. A strong centrifugal force is a likely contributor to Ryu…
Shape and Rotational Motion Models for Tumbling and Monolithic Asteroid 2012 :High Time Resolution Lightcurve with the Tomo-e Gozen Camera
Seitaro Urakawa, Ryou Ohsawa, Shigeyuki Sako +13
We present visible and near-infrared observations of a near-Earth object (NEO), 2012 . The NEO 2012 approached close to the Earth at a distance of ab…
Asteroid Ryugu Before the Hayabusa2 Encounter
Koji Wada, Matthias Grott, Patrick Michel +31
Asteroid (162173) Ryugu is the target object of Hayabusa2, an asteroid exploration and sample return mission led by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Ground-based observat…
Anisotropic Ejection from Active Asteroid P/2010 A2: An Implication of Impact Shattering on an Asteroid
Yoonyoung Kim, Masateru Ishiguro, Tatsuhiro Michikami +1
We revisited a mass ejection phenomenon that occurred in asteroid P/2010 A2 in terms of the dynamical properties of the dust particles and large fragments. We constructed a model a…
