TL;DR: Using images and thermal data from NASA's Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft, this paper showed that asteroid (101955) Bennu's surface is globally rough, dense with boulders, and low in albedo.

TL;DR: Early measurements of numerous large candidate impact craters on near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu by the OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) mission indicate a surface that is between 100 million and 1 billion years old, predating Bennu's expected duration as a near Earth asteroid as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a shape model for the OSIRIS-REx images of the near-Earth asteroid Bennu is presented, which suggests that the asteroid formed by reaccumulation and underwent past periods of fast spin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asteroid (101955) Bennu's weak boulders and thermally anomalous equator
Ben Rozitis,Andrew Ryan,Josh Emery,P. R. Christensen,V. E. Hamilton,Amy Simon,D. C. Reuter,M. Al Asad,Ronald-Louis Ballouz,Joshua L. Bandfield,Olivier S. Barnouin,Carina Bennett,Marc Bernacki,K. N.

TL;DR: These findings imply that other C-complex NEAs likely have boulders similar to those on Bennu rather than finer-particulate regoliths, and a tentative correlation between albedo and thermal inertia of C- complex NEAs may be due to relative abundances of boulder types.

TL;DR: Maps of color and albedo on asteroid Bennu indicate complex evolution of its surface due to space weathering, and constrain Bennu's evolution and provide context for the sample collected in October 2020.
