AFM-IR nanospectroscopy of nanoglobule-like particles in Ryugu samples returned by the Hayabusa2 mission

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
The JAXA Hayabusa2 mission returned well-preserved samples collected from the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu, providing unique non-terrestrially weathered samples from a known parent body.

Precious Dust Two Mission Converge on Asteroid Sample Returns [PDF]

open access: yes
Far-flung spacecraft deliver incredible views of distant worlds. But there's nothing like bringing samples back to Earth. Instruments carried by spacecraft have limitations-of power, complexity, size, and number.

Disequilibrium oxygen isotope distribution among aqueously altered minerals in Ryugu asteroid returned samples

open access: yesMeteoritics & Planetary Science
Oxygen 3‐isotope ratios of magnetite and carbonates in aqueously altered carbonaceous chondrites provide important clues to understanding the evolution of the fluid in the asteroidal parent bodies.

Surface Modifications of a Space-weathered Ryugu Sample and the Reflectance Spectral Response

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Reflectance spectra from the surface of asteroid Ryugu, measured by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, exhibit a metal-OH absorption at ∼2.7 μ m that is approximately half as deep as the returned samples measured in the laboratory and shifted toward longer ...

Life-Detection Technologies for the Next Two Decades

open access: yes, 2018
Since its inception six decades ago, astrobiology has diversified immensely to encompass several scientific questions including the origin and evolution of Terran life, the organic chemical composition of extraterrestrial objects, and the concept of ...

Constraining the Effects of Pre- and Post-accretionary Processes on Ryugu Insoluble Organic Matter

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Asteroidal and cometary fragments have been indicated as possible sources of the building blocks of life for the early Earth. Samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu are uncontaminated and contain organic matter.

NASA Curation Preparation for Ryugu Sample Returned by JAXA's Hayabusa2 Mission [PDF]

open access: yes
The NASA OSIRIS-REx and JAXA Hayabusa2 missions to near-Earth asteroids Bennu and Ryugu share similar mission goals of understanding the origins of primitive, organic-rich asteroids.

Evidence for Magnetically‐Driven Accretion in the Distal Solar System

open access: yesAGU Advances
Paleomagnetic measurements of meteorites indicate that magnetic fields existed in the inner solar nebula capable of driving accretion at rates similar to those observed for young stellar objects with protoplanetary disks.
