Ryugu and Bennu preserve primordial isotopic heterogeneity absent from the meteorite record [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Ivuna-type (CI) carbonaceous chondrites are commonly used as proxies for the composition of the planet-forming disk because their chemical abundances resemble those of the solar photosphere.

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 ...

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

Oxygen-Bearing Organic Components in Ryugu Samples [PDF]

open access: yes
The Hayabusa2 mission visited the near-Earth Cb-type asteroid (162173) Ryugu and has returned to Earth with the surface material of Ryugu. Ryugu is an airless rubble pile asteroid exposed to space weathering.

Mid-infrared emissivity of partially dehydrated asteroid (162173) Ryugu shows strong signs of aqueous alteration

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Spectral characteristics can be used to link asteroid and meteorite materials. Here, the authors show in-situ mid-infrared data of a boulder on asteroid Ryugu, compared with laboratory spectra of various meteorites, indicate that Ryugu experienced strong
