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

open access: yesCommunications 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 ...

Low temperatures and high water/rock ratios in asteroid (101955) Bennu's history based on X‐ray powder diffraction of returned samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1077-1094, June 2026.
Abstract Samples returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission from the carbonaceous asteroid (101955) Bennu hold clues about conditions in the early solar system and the formation of planetary bodies. Initial investigation of Bennu samples found that they are rich in phyllosilicates and other secondary minerals formed during aqueous alteration of a larger ...

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

open access: yesPeerJ, 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

Potential of VIS‐IR imaging spectroscopy and SEM‐EDS and EMPA to map the mineralogical composition of NWA 7317 (CR6)

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1026-1044, June 2026.
Abstract Asteroid compositional analysis relies on comparing reflectance spectra with laboratory data from well‐characterized meteorites. To advance this comparison, we performed a comprehensive laboratory analysis on a slab of the Northwest Africa (NWA) 7317—CR6 carbonaceous chondrite.

The geoarchaeology of planetary exploration: new approaches to space heritage preservation

open access: yesGeology Today, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 129-133, May/June 2026.
On 21 May 2015, the United States passed the ‘Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act’, also known as the SPACE Act, encouraging a competitive commercial space exploration industry and effectively ushering a new space race, or even space age. Unlike the former space age of the 1950s–1970s which was characterized by intense competition between the ...

Oxygen isotopes of anhydrous primary minerals show kinship between asteroid Ryugu and comet 81P/Wild2

open access: yes, 2022
The extraterrestrial materials returned from asteroid (162173) Ryugu consist predominantly of low-temperature aqueously formed secondary minerals and are chemically and mineralogically similar to CI (Ivuna-type) carbonaceous chondrites.

Ryugu’s nucleosynthetic heritage from the outskirts of the Solar System

open access: yesScience Advances, 2022
Little is known about the origin of the spectral diversity of asteroids and what it says about conditions in the protoplanetary disk. Here, we show that samples returned from Cb-type asteroid Ryugu have Fe isotopic anomalies indistinguishable from Ivuna-type (CI) chondrites, which are distinct from all other carbonaceous chondrites.

CI chondrite Oued Chebeika 002 links asteroids Bennu and Ryugu to common parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 801-818, May 2026.
Abstract CI chondrites are a compositionally primitive group of meteorites that have undergone extensive aqueous alteration, providing insights into the evolution of primitive planetesimals. Oued Chebeika 002 is the most pristine CI chondrite to date.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Visualization of nanoscale magnetic domain states in the asteroid Ryugu

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
In the samples collected from the asteroid Ryugu, magnetite displays natural remanent magnetization due to nebular magnetic field, whereas contemporaneously grown iron sulfide does not display stable remanent magnetization.
