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…

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…
