Heliocentric Distance Dependence of Zodiacal Light Observed by Hayabusa2#
Kohji Tsumura, Shuji Matsuura, Kei Sano +21
Zodiacal light (ZL) is sunlight scattered by interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) at optical wavelengths. The spatial distribution of IDPs in the Solar System may hold an important…
Characterization of the MASCOT landing area by Hayabusa2
Stefan Schröder, Naoya Sakatani, Rie Honda +26
Context. After landing on C-type asteroid Ryugu, MASCOT imaged brightly colored, submillimeter-sized inclusions in a small rock. Hayabusa2 successfully returned a sample of small 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…
Resurfacing processes constrained by crater distribution on Ryugu
Naofumi Takaki, Yuichiro Cho, Tomokatsu Morota +16
Understanding the geological modification processes on asteroids can provide information concerning their surface history. Images of small asteroids from spacecraft show a depletio…
Image registration for multi-band images taken by ONC-T onboard Hayabusa2
Toru Kouyama, Eri Tatsumi, Chikatoshi Honda +13
Hayabusa2, a Japanese sample-return mission to a C-type asteroid, arrived at its target 162173 Ryugu in June 2018. The optical navigation cameras (ONC-T, ONC-W1, ONC-W2) successful…
The Western Bulge of 162173 Ryugu Formed as a Result of a Rotationally Driven Deformation Process
Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Eri Tatsumi, Hideaki Miyamoto +26
162173 Ryugu, the target of Hayabusa2, has a round shape with an equatorial ridge, which is known as a spinning top-shape. A strong centrifugal force is a likely contributor to Ryu…
