TL;DR: The Hayabusa2 spacecraft measured the mass, size, shape, density, and spin rate of asteroid Ryugu, showing that it is a porous rubble pile, and observations of Ryugu's shape, mass, and geomorphology suggest that Ryugu was reshaped by centrifugally induced deformation during a period of rapid rotation.

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.

TL;DR: An impact experiment on Ryugu is described using Hayabusa2’s Small Carry-on Impactor, which produced an artificial crater with a diameter >10 meters, which has a semicircular shape, an elevated rim, and a central pit, and implications for Ryugu's surface age are discussed.

TL;DR: The authors conclude that the asteroid experienced a prior period of strong solar heating caused by changes in its orbit, and suggest that Ryugu previously experienced an orbital excursion near the Sun.
