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…
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…
