Overview of Hayabusa2 extended mission's flyby of Near-Earth Asteroid (98943) Torifune
Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Masahiko Hayakawa, Yuya Mimasu +18
The Hayabusa2 extended mission, nicknamed Hayabusa2# (# is pronounced SHARP, which stands for the Small Hazardous Asteroid Reconnaissance Probe), is JAXA's small body explorer to c…
Characteristics of natural remanence records in fine-grained particles returned from asteroid Ryugu
Masahiko Sato, Yuki Kimura, Tadahiro Hatakeyama +25
Particles collected from the asteroid Ryugu by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft offer a unique opportunity to investigate the magnetic record of the primitive solar system, as any terrestr…
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…
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…
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…
