The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 Abstract We have conducted a NanoSIMS-based search for presolar material in samples recently returned from C-type asteroid Ryugu as part of JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission. We report the detection of all major presolar grain types with O- and C-anomalous isotopic compositions typically identified in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites: 1 silicate,Barosch, Jens, Nittler, Larry R., Wang, Jianhua, O’D.
