Ryugu Asteroid

open access: yes, 2023
International audience(162173) Ryugu is a near-Earth C-type (i.e., carbonaceous) asteroid. It has been, after Itokawa, the second target for an asteroidal sample return, thanks to the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission (Watanabe et al. 2019).

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.

Space weathering acts strongly on the uppermost surface of Ryugu

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
Returned samples from Cb-type asteroid (162173) Ryugu exhibit very dark spectra in visible and near-infrared ranges, generally consistent with the Hayabusa2 observations. A critical difference is that a structural water absorption of hydrous silicates is

Hydrogen Isotopic Composition of Hydrous Minerals in Asteroid Ryugu

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Rock fragments of the Cb-type asteroid Ryugu returned to Earth by the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission share mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic properties with the Ivuna-type (CI) carbonaceous chondrites.

Constraining surface properties of asteroid (162173) Ryugu from numerical simulations of Hayabusa2 mission impact experiment [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Hayabusa2 mission impact experiment on asteroid Ryugu formed a crater larger than expected. Here, the authors show numerical impact simulations and find that the target cohesion may be very low, indicating the Hayabusa2 impact experiment probably ...

Uracil in the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Uracil was identified in the sample returned from the asteroid Ryugu. Having been provided to the early Earth as a component in such asteroidal materials, these molecules might have played a role for prebiotic chemical evolution on the early ...

Small‐scale elemental abundance variations in Ryugu particles from touchdown 1

open access: hybridMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 580-599, April 2026.
Abstract Ryugu materials closely resemble CI chondrites' mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic compositions; yet minor but resolvable differences in certain elemental abundances are evident. In this study, the bulk chemical compositions of eight individual Ryugu particles (1.5–4.3 mg) from the first touchdown site (TD1) were determined using triple ...
