The evolution of organic material on Asteroid 162173 Ryugu and its delivery to Earth [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
The recent return of samples from asteroid 162173 Ryugu provides a first insight into early Solar System prebiotic evolution from known planetary bodies. Ryugu’s samples are CI chondrite-like, rich in water and organic material, and primarily composed of

Microstructural and chemical features of impact melts on Ryugu particle surfaces: Records of interplanetary dust hit on asteroid Ryugu. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Adv
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft delivered samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu to Earth. Some of the sample particles show evidence of micrometeoroid impacts, which occurred on the asteroid surface.

Surface Ages for the Sample Return Asteroids Bennu, Ryugu, and Itokawa

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The OSIRIS-REx, Hayabusa2, and Hayabusa missions have returned samples from three near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), namely Bennu, Ryugu, and Itokawa, respectively.

Soluble organic matter Molecular atlas of Ryugu reveals cold hydrothermalism on C-type asteroid parent body [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The sample from the near-Earth carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu is analyzed in the context of carbonaceous meteorites soluble organic matter. The analysis of soluble molecules of samples collected by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft shines light on an ...

Solar System’s earliest solids as tracers of the accretion region of Ryugu and Ivuna-type carbonaceous chondrites

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu and CI (Ivuna-type) chondrites are dominated by low-temperature, aqueously formed secondary minerals, with rare occurrences of anhydrous primary minerals that formed in the high-temperature region of the solar

Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Micrometeoroid Bombardment for Space Weathering of Asteroid (162173) Ryugu

open access: goldThe Astrophysical Journal
Remote sensing observations by Hayabusa2 and laboratory measurements have revealed that the phyllosilicates on asteroid (162173) Ryugu are dehydrated/dehydroxylated due to space weathering.

JWST Spectroscopy of (142) Polana: Connection to NEAs (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The new Polana collisional family is the hypothesized origin of the near-Earth asteroids (101955) Bennu, which was the target of the NASA OSIRIS-REx mission, and (162173) Ryugu, which was the target of the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission.

Presolar Stardust in Asteroid Ryugu [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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,

The Asteroid 162173 Ryugu: a Cometary Origin [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021
Abstract The Japanese Hayabusa2 mission has revealed in detail the physical characteristics of the C-type asteroid 162173 Ryugu, in particular, its spinning top-shaped rubble-pile structure and potentially high organic content. A widely accepted formation scenario for Ryugu is catastrophic collision between larger asteroids and the ...
