Tomoki Nakamura,Takaaki Noguchi,Masahiko Tanaka,Michael E. Zolensky,Makoto Kimura,Akira Tsuchiyama,Aiko Nakato,T. Ogami,Hatsumi Ishida,Masayuki Uesugi,Toru Yada,Kei Shirai,Akio Fujimura,Ryuji Okazaki,Scott A.

TL;DR: Laboratory analysis of samples returned from an asteroid establishes a direct link between asteroids and meteorites and provides clues to the complex history of the asteroid and its surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incipient Space Weathering Observed on the Surface of Itokawa Dust Particles
Takaaki Noguchi,Tomoki Nakamura,Makoto Kimura,Michael E. Zolensky,Masahiko Tanaka,Takahito Hashimoto,Mitsuru Konno,Aiko Nakato,T. Ogami,Akio Fujimura,M. Abe,Toru Yada,Toshifumi Mukai,Munetaka Ueno,T. Okada,Kei Shirai,Yukihiro Ishibashi,Ryuji Okazaki +17 more
TL;DR: Evidence of space weathering on particles returned from the S-type asteroid 25143 Itokawa by the Hayabusa spacecraft is reported and texture suggests formation by metamictization and in situ reduction of Fe2+.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primordial oxygen isotope reservoirs of the solar nebula recorded in chondrules in Acfer 094 carbonaceous chondrite
TL;DR: In this paper, an ion microprobe analysis of oxygen three-isotope ratios in chondrules from the Acfer 094, one of the most primitive carbonaceous chondrites, was performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of high-pressure minerals in shocked L6 chondrite Yamato 791384: constraints on shock conditions and parent body size
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the high-pressure phases observed in Yamato 791384 L6 chondrite and found that ringwoodite lamellae were observed in the host olivine adjacent to the vein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Space weathered rims found on the surfaces of the Itokawa dust particles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified three types of surface modification probably formed by space weathering on the surfaces of Itokawa particles: redeposition rims, composite rims and composite vesicular rims.
