Evidence for the Presence of Thin and Heterogenous Dust Deposits on Ryugu's Boulders From Hayabusa2 MARA and Sample Data

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Middle infrared spectral results obtained in‐situ by the Hayabusa2 MARA instrument are generally in‐line with previous results and a new comparison with sample C0137 returned from asteroid (162173) Ryugu, being similar to an aqueously altered CI1 ...

Evaluating maturity of organic matter in hydrated C1 and CM‐like clasts and a dehydrated clast within a polymict eucrite and a howardite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Volatile‐rich xenolithic clasts in different types of brecciated meteorites represent unique pristine solar system material. This study investigates the maturity and thermal history of organic matter using Raman spectroscopy and aqueous alteration effects using infrared spectroscopy in the matrix of 15 volatile‐rich clasts (C1 and CM‐like ...

Ryugu’s observed volatile loss did not arise from impact heating alone

Communications Earth & Environment, 2021
The loss of volatile material from asteroid Ryugu was not caused solely by heating from hypervelocity impacts as previously believed, suggest impact experiments conducted at speeds comparable to those expected in the main asteroid ...

Raman analysis of organic refractory materials after energetic processing: Evidence for amorphous carbon on TNOs and comets

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Amorphous carbon (αC) is found in various extraterrestrial particles, including those thought to originate from the outer Solar System. αC can form through two main processes involving C‐rich materials: exposure to energetic charged particles and thermal processing.

Microstructural evidence for multiple generations of sulfide precipitation and impact‐induced thermal alteration under acidic conditions on Asteroid Ryugu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Here we report on the microstructure and chemistry of sulfide minerals returned from asteroid (162173) Ryugu. We identify a unique sulfide population in particle A0016 composed of violarite (FeNi2S4), pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), pyrrhotite (Fe1‐xS), and pentlandite ([Fe,Ni]9S8).

Shifting communities after­­ typhoon damage on an upper mesophotic reef in Okinawa, Japan [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Very few studies have been conducted on the long-term effects of typhoon damage on mesophotic coral reefs. This study investigates the long-term community dynamics of damage from Typhoon 17 (Jelawat) in 2012 on the coral community of the upper mesophotic

Nature, origin, and phosphorylation potential of the phosphorus/sulfur‐bearing nanoscale multiphasic assemblages in the CM chondrites Murchison and Murray

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbonaceous chondrites contain phosphorus, whose speciation and thus history remain to be investigated. Phosphorus/sulfur‐bearing assemblages have been reported in carbonaceous CM chondrites, but there is no consensus about their exact compositions and origins.

The Magnetic Mineralogy of Carbonaceous Chondrites: A Microscopy and Machine Learning Study of Meteorite WIS 91600

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract A central challenge in the paleomagnetic study of meteorites is to characterize their diverse remanence carriers. Here, we develop a machine‐learning assisted workflow that combines multi‐scale (mm to nm) and multi‐dimensional (2D‐3D) microscopy to build a comprehensive picture of ferromagnetic mineralogy in the C2 ungrouped carbonaceous ...

Enantioselective three-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of amino acids in the Hayabusa2 returned samples from the asteroid Ryugu

Journal of Chromatography Open
The chirality of amino acids in extraterrestrial materials may provide an insight into the origin of the essential l-enantiopure amino acids in the terrestrial biosphere.

Surface Geology and Evolution of Asteroid Ryugu: Insights From Hayabusa2 Global Mapping

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Rubble‐pile asteroids, characterized by loose aggregates of debris held together by gravity, represent both a significant planetary hazard and a key to understanding planetesimal formation. Geologic mapping of these bodies provides essential insights into their origins, evolution, and surface processes.
