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…
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…
