The GAs Extraction and Analyses system (GAEA) for immediate extraction and measurements of volatiles in the Hayabusa2 sample container

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2022
Hayabusa2 returned surface samples from the C-type near-Earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu to Woomera, South Australia, in December 2020. The samples returned from Ryugu are expected to contain not only volatile components reflecting its primitive nature, but

Low temperatures and high water/rock ratios in asteroid (101955) Bennu's history based on X‐ray powder diffraction of returned samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1077-1094, June 2026.
Abstract Samples returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission from the carbonaceous asteroid (101955) Bennu hold clues about conditions in the early solar system and the formation of planetary bodies. Initial investigation of Bennu samples found that they are rich in phyllosilicates and other secondary minerals formed during aqueous alteration of a larger ...

CI chondrite Oued Chebeika 002 links asteroids Bennu and Ryugu to common parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 801-818, May 2026.
Abstract CI chondrites are a compositionally primitive group of meteorites that have undergone extensive aqueous alteration, providing insights into the evolution of primitive planetesimals. Oued Chebeika 002 is the most pristine CI chondrite to date.

Ryugu reference project: Recommendations from the measurement definition team

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 819-848, May 2026.
Abstract Sample return missions play a significant role in planetary science by providing pristine extraterrestrial materials. JAXA's Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions have returned samples from the C‐type asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, respectively. The chemical and mineralogical compositions of these samples closely resemble those of CI chondrites,
