Hydrothermal alteration of Ryugu from a disruptive impact recorded in a returned sample [PDF]

Nature Communications
Samples returned from C-type asteroid (162173) Ryugu by JAXA’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft provide material free of terrestrial alteration for analysis. Previous work shows that Ryugu was aqueously altered below 100 °C under neutral to alkaline fluid conditions.

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

Universe, 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

Communications 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

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

Nature 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 ...

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

Nature 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 ...

Bennu and Ryugu constituents from samples IR analyses and potential source of terrestrial planets’ ingredients [PDF]

Nature Communications
Samples collected on carbonaceous asteroids and preserved from terrestrial alteration are key witnesses of the early evolution of the Solar System. Here we present the results of the characterization, by the near-IR hyperspectral microscope MicrOmega ...

Ammonium-bearing phyllosilicate grains detected in Ryugu and Bennu samples via infrared spectroscopy [PDF]

Nature Communications
Understanding the nature of nitrogen reservoirs in primitive small bodies is fundamental for tracing the evolution of volatiles in the early Solar System and their contribution to prebiotic chemistry.
