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

TL;DR: Regolith particles on the asteroid Itokawa were recovered by the Hayabusa mission and their three-dimensional structure and other properties, revealed by x-ray microtomography, provide information on regolith formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured, using secondary ion mass spectrometry, oxygen isotopic compositions of rock particles from asteroid 25143 Itokawa returned by the Hayabusa spacecraft.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abe,Toru Yada,Yukihiro Ishibashi,Akio Fujimura,Toshifumi Mukai,Munetaka Ueno,Tatsuaki Okada,Makoto Yoshikawa,Jun'ichiro Kawaguchi +25 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that Itokawa is continuously losing its surface materials into space at a rate of tens of centimeters per million years, which should be much shorter than the age of the solar system.
Journal ArticleDOI
