Journal ArticleDOI

The geomorphology, color, and thermal properties of Ryugu: Implications for parent-body processes

Seiji Sugita, +132 more
- 19 Apr 2019 - 
TL;DR: Spectral observations and a principal components analysis suggest that Ryugu originates from the Eulalia or Polana asteroid family in the inner main belt, possibly via more than one generation of parent bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation and evolution of carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu: Direct evidence from returned samples

T. Nakamura, +217 more
- 22 Sep 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the authors analyzed 17 samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu and found that carbon dioxide-bearing water inclusions are present within a pyrrhotite crystal, indicating that Ryugu's parent asteroid formed in the outer Solar System.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermally altered subsurface material of asteroid (162173) Ryugu

Kohei Kitazato, +104 more
- 01 Mar 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Near-Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS3) on the Hayabusa2 spacecraft to investigate exposed subsurface material and test potential effects of radiative heating.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anomalously porous boulders on (162173) Ryugu as primordial materials from its parent body

Naoya Sakatani, +104 more
- 24 May 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used high-resolution thermal and optical imaging of Ryugu's surface to find high porosity boulders on the floor of fresh small craters ( 70%, which is as high as in cometary bodies) and suggested that these boulders are probably the most pristine parts of the planetesimals that formed Ryugu.
