Small grains from Ryugu: handling and analysis pipeline for infrared synchrotron microspectroscopy

Earth, Planets and Space, 2023
Sample-return missions allow the study of materials collected directly from celestial bodies, unbiased by atmospheric entry effects and/or terrestrial alteration and contamination phenomena, using state-of-the-art techniques which are available only in a

3D SR‐μXCT analysis for lithology detection: Application to Ryugu sample A0159

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 11, Page 2623-2654, November 2025.
Abstract Extraterrestrial breccia samples are formed through impact‐related processes that combine the fragments of distinct lithologies. As such, they are valuable indicators of the complex formation and evolution history of planetesimals in our solar system.

Ryugu’s Anhydrous Ingredients and Their Spectral Link to Primitive Dust from the Outer Solar System

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Ryugu is a second-generation C-type asteroid formed by the reassembly of fragments of a previous larger body in the main asteroid belt. While the majority of Ryugu samples returned by Hayabusa2 are composed of a lithology dominated by aqueously altered ...

Elastic Properties of Returned Samples From Asteroid (162173) Ryugu

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The successful sample return from asteroid (162173) Ryugu by Hayabusa2 has contributed to our understanding of the solar system evolution. Over the course of the initial sample analysis, various measurements were conducted, such as mineralogical observation, chemical analysis, and mechanical property measurement.

Magnesium phosphate in the Cold Bokkeveld (CM2) carbonaceous chondrite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 2017-2032, September 2025.
Abstract Hydrous Mg‐phosphate was first described from astromaterials in particles returned from the C‐type asteroid Ryugu, and has subsequently been found in samples of the B‐type asteroid Bennu and CI1 carbonaceous chondrites. This phase may have been highly significant as a source of bioessential compounds for early Earth.

Implications of cohesive strength in asteroid interiors and surfaces and its measurement

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2018
Recent observations and theory have indicated that rubble pile asteroids may have a small, but finite, level of tensile strength, allowing them to spin above their spin deformation limit as defined in Holsapple (Icarus 205:430–442, 2010).

Performance of the 3F4M Noblesse–HR Noble Gas Mass Spectrometer for Multicollection Ne‐Ar‐N2 Analyses

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The Noblesse–HR noble gas mass spectrometer was designed for multicollection analyses of different sets of noble gas isotopes with a fixed detector array under static conditions. At the Centre de Recherches Pétrographiques et Géochimiques (CRPG, Nancy, France), we developed a novel procedure to measure nitrogen (N2) abundance and isotope ratio

Oued Chebeika 002: A new CI1 meteorite linked to outer solar system bodies

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 7, Page 1441-1479, July 2025.
Abstract CI1 chondrites are rare meteorites with high scientific value. In fact, they are the most chemically primitive meteorites and show evidence of intense parent‐body aqueous alteration. They also share strong similarities with samples from Ryugu and Bennu asteroids returned by the JAXA Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions.

Size Constraint on Hayabusa2 Extended Mission Rendezvous Target 1998 KY26 via VLT/VISIR Nondetection

The Astronomical Journal
1998 KY _26 is a tiny near-Earth asteroid ( H = 26.1) discovered in 1998. It has been selected as the target of the Hayabusa2 extended mission, which will rendezvous with 1998 KY _26 in 2031.
