Dynamic precise orbit determination of Hayabusa2 using laser altimeter (LIDAR) and image tracking data sets

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2020
The precise orbit of the Hayabusa2 spacecraft with respect to asteroid Ryugu is dynamically determined using the data sets collected by the spacecraft’s onboard laser altimeter (LIght Detection And Ranging, LIDAR) and automated image tracking (AIT).

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

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

open access: yesUniverse, 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.

Ryugu Sample Database System (RS-DBS) on the Data Archives and Transmission System (DARTS) by the JAXA curation

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2023
The JAXA Astromaterials Science Research Group developed a web-based database system for the Hayabusa2-returned samples from C-type asteroid Ryugu. The Ryugu Sample Database System database (RS-DBS) is designed as an online catalog for users of wide ...

Derivation of 1.064 μm normal albedos on the C-type asteroid Ryugu from laser pulse intensity measurement of the Hayabusa2 LIDAR

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2022
Japanese asteroid explorer Hayabusa2 arrived at C-type asteroid 162,173 Ryugu in June 2018. The laser altimeter (LIDAR) onboard Hayabusa2 measured its own transmitted laser and returned pulse intensities from a Ryugu surface until November 2019.

A newly revised estimation of bulk densities and examination of the shape of individual Ryugu grains

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2023
The bulk density of grains from a celestial body is a fundamental property related to its composition and structure, contributing to the understanding of its evolutionary history. In this study, we provide the bulk density of 637 grains returned from the

The Oxygen Isotopic Composition of Samples Returned from Asteroid Ryugu with Implications for the Nature of the Parent Planetesimal

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We present oxygen isotopic analyses of fragments of the near-Earth C _b -type asteroid Ryugu returned by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft that reinforce the close correspondence between Ryugu and CI chondrites.

Photometric behavior of Ryugu’s NIR spectral parameters

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2022
Context. JAXA’s Hayabusa2 mission rendezvoused the Ryugu asteroid for 1.5 years to clarify the carbonaceous asteroids’ record for Solar System origin and evolution. Aims. We studied the photometric behavior of the spectral parameters characterizing the near-infrared (NIR) spectra of Ryugu provided by the Hayabusa2/NIRS3 instrument, that is to say 1.9 ...

Magnetic Properties of Asteroid (162173) Ryugu [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2020
AbstractObservations of the magnetization state of asteroids indicate diverse properties. Values between 1.9   10 Am /kg (Eros) and 10 Am /kg (Braille) have been reported. A more detailed understanding of asteroidal magnetic properties allows far‐reaching conclusions of the magnetization mechanism as well as the strength of the magnetic field of the ...
