Soluble organic molecules in samples of the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu

open access: greenScience, 2023
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft collected samples from the surface of the carbonaceous near-Earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu and brought them to Earth. The samples were expected to contain organic molecules, which record processes that occurred in the early Solar ...

The Formation of a Rubble Pile Asteroid: Insights from the Asteroid Ryugu [PDF]

open access: goldUniverse, 2023
The Hayabusa2 mission returned primitive samples from the C-type asteroid Ryugu to Earth. The C-type asteroids hold clues to the origin of Earth’s water and the building blocks of life.

A primordial noble gas component discovered in the Ryugu asteroid and its implications [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Ryugu is the C-type asteroid from which material was brought to Earth by the Hayabusa2 mission. A number of individual grains and fine-grained samples analysed so far for noble gases have indicated that solar wind and planetary (known as P1) noble gases ...

Diverse evolutionary pathways of spheroidal asteroids driven by rotation rate [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Asteroids preserve a continuous record of evolutionary processes since the early solar system. They can take various shapes that represent the cumulative results of their evolution.

Variations of organic functional chemistry in carbonaceous matter from the asteroid 162173 Ryugu [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Primordial carbon delivered to the early earth by asteroids and meteorites provided a diverse source of extraterrestrial organics from pre-existing simple organic compounds, complex solar-irradiated macromolecules, and macromolecules from extended ...

Iron and copper sulfides in asteroid (162173) Ryugu: Formation conditions and a comparison to the CI and CY chondrites [PDF]

open access: hybridMeteoritics & Planetary Science
JAXA's Hayabusa2 sample return mission visited the volatile‐rich carbonaceous (C‐type) asteroid (162173) Ryugu with the aim of ground‐truthing remote observations, returning a pristine sample from a C‐type asteroid, and strengthening links between ...

Numerical simulations suggest asteroids (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu are likely second or later generation rubble piles. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun
Rubble pile asteroids are widely understood to be composed of reaccumulated debris following a catastrophic collision between asteroids in the main asteroid belt, where each disruption can make a family of new asteroids.
