The Geometric Albedo of (4179) Toutatis Estimated from KMTNet DEEP-South Observations
Yoonsoo P. Bach, Masateru Ishiguro, Sunho Jin +6
We derive the geometric albedo of a near-Earth asteroid, (4179) Toutatis, to investigate its surface physical conditions. The asteroid has been studied rigorously not only via grou…
Physical properties of near-Earth asteroids with a low delta-: Survey of target candidates for the Hayabusa2 mission
Sunao Hasegawa, Daisuke Kuroda, Kohei Kitazato +40
Sample return from the near-Earth asteroid known as 25143 Itokawa was conducted as part of the Hayabusa mission, with a large number of scientific findings being derived from the r…
Evolution of Cometary Dust Particles to the Orbit of the Earth: Particle Size, Shape, and Mutual Collisions
Hongu Yang, Masateru Ishiguro
In this study, we numerically investigated the orbital evolution of cometary dust particles, with special consideration of the initial size frequency distribution (SFD) and differe…
Hayabusa-2 Mission Target Asteroid 162173 Ryugu (1999 JU3): Searching for the Object's Spin-Axis Orientation
T. G. Müller, J. Ďurech, M. Ishiguro +27
The JAXA Hayabusa-2 mission was approved in 2010 and launched on December 3, 2014. The spacecraft will arrive at the near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu in 2018 where it will perform…
Origin of Interplanetary Dust through Optical Properties of Zodiacal Light
Hongu Yang, Masateru Ishiguro
This study investigates the origin of interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) through the optical properties, albedo and spectral gradient, of zodiacal light. The optical properties w…
High-resolution Imaging of the Gegenschein and the Geometric Albedo of Interplanetary Dust
Masateru Ishiguro, Hongu Yang, Fumihiko Usui +5
We made optical observations of the Gegenschein using a liquid-nitrogen-cooled wide-field camera, Wide-field Imager of Zodiacal light with ARray Detector (WIZARD), between March 20…
