The Ni isotopic composition of Ryugu reveals a common accretion region for carbonaceous chondrites
Fridolin Spitzer, Thorsten Kleine, Christoph Burkhardt +88
The isotopic compositions of samples returned from Cb-type asteroid Ryugu and Ivuna-type (CI) chondrites are distinct from other carbonaceous chondrites, which has led to the sugge…
Microscale Hydrogen, Carbon, and Nitrogen Isotopic Diversity of Organic Matter in Asteroid Ryugu
Larry R Nittler, Jens Barosch, Katherine Burgess +57
We report the H, C, and N isotopic compositions of microscale (0.2 to 2m) organic matter in samples of asteroid Ryugu and the Orgueil CI carbonaceous chondrite. Three regolith p…
Ejecta cloud distributions for the statistical analysis of impact cratering events onto asteroids' surfaces: a sensitivity analysis
Mirko Trisolini, Camilla Colombo, Yuichi Tsuda
This work presents the model of an ejecta cloud distribution to characterise the plume generated by the impact of a projectile onto asteroids surfaces. A continuum distribution bas…
Target selection for Near-Earth Asteroids in-orbit sample collection missions
Mirko Trisolini, Camilla Colombo, Yuichi Tsuda
This work presents a mission concept for in-orbit particle collection for sampling and exploration missions towards Near-Earth asteroids. Ejecta is generated via a small kinetic im…
Inferring the ecology of north-Pacific albacore tuna from catch-and-effort data
Hirotaka Ijima, Carolina Minte-Vera, Yi-Jay Chang +3
Catch-and-effort data are among the primary sources of information for assessing the status of terrestrial wildlife and fish. In fishery science, elaborate stock-assessment models…
Presolar stardust in asteroid Ryugu
Jens Barosch, Larry R. Nittler, Jianhua Wang +121
We have conducted a NanoSIMS-based search for presolar material in samples recently returned from C-type asteroid Ryugu as part of JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission. We report the detection…
The spatial distribution of impact craters on Ryugu
Naoyuki Hirata, Tomokatsu Morota, Yuichiro Cho +40
Asteroid 162173 Ryugu has numerous craters. The initial measurement of impact craters on Ryugu, by Sugita et al. (2019), is based on Hayabusa2 ONC images obtained during the first…
Rotational effect as the possible cause of the east-west asymmetric crater rims on Ryugu observed by LIDAR data
Naoyuki Hirata, Noriyuki Namiki, Fumi Yoshida +13
Asteroid 162173 Ryugu is a rubble-pile asteroid, whose top-shape is compatible with models of deformation by spin up. Rims of major craters on Ryugu have an east-west asymmetric pr…
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…
Hayabusa2 Extended Mission: New Voyage to Rendezvous with a Small Asteroid Rotating with a Short Period
M. Hirabayashi, Y. Mimasu, N. Sakatani +41
Hayabusa2 is the Japanese Asteroid Return Mission and targeted the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu, conducted by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The goal of this mission…
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…
