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…
Electrostatic Dust Ejection From Asteroid (3200) Phaethon With the Aid of Mobile Alkali Ions at Perihelion
Hiroshi Kimura, Katsuhito Ohtsuka, Shota Kikuchi +12
The asteroid (3200) Phaethon is known to be the parent body of the Geminids, although meteor showers are commonly associated with the activity of periodic comets. What is most pecu…
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…
Is water ice an efficient facilitator for dust coagulation?
Hiroshi Kimura, Koji Wada, Hiroshi Kobayashi +8
Beyond the snow line of protoplanetary discs and inside the dense core of molecular clouds, the temperature of gas is low enough for water vapour to condense into amorphous ices on…
The tensile strength of dust aggregates consisting of small elastic grains: Constraints on the size of condensates in protoplanetary disks
Hiroshi Kimura, Koji Wada, Fumi Yoshida +7
A consensus view on the formation of planetesimals is now exposed to a threat, since recent numerical studies on the mechanical properties of dust aggregates tend to dispute the co…
Asteroid Ryugu Before the Hayabusa2 Encounter
Koji Wada, Matthias Grott, Patrick Michel +31
Asteroid (162173) Ryugu is the target object of Hayabusa2, an asteroid exploration and sample return mission led by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Ground-based observat…
