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…

Inversion angle of phase-polarization curve of near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon
Yoshiharu Shinnaka, Toshihiro Kasuga, Reiko Furusho +5
The linear polarization degree (referred to the scattering plane, P_r) as a function of the solar phase angle, α, of solar system objects is a good diagnostic to understand the sca…
