Hayabusa2 arrives at the carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu—A spinning top–shaped rubble pile

Sei-ichiro Watanabe, +99 more
- 19 Mar 2019 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ongoing hydrothermal activities within Enceladus

TL;DR: Analysis of silicon-rich, nanometre-sized dust particles (so-called stream particles) that stand out from the water-ice-dominated objects characteristic of Saturn indicate ongoing high-temperature (>90 °C) hydrothermal reactions associated with global-scale geothermal activity that quickly transports hydroThermal products from the ocean floor at a depth of at least 40 kilometres up to the plume of Enceladus.
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

The Initial Abundance of 60 Fe in the Solar System

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found evidence for 60Ni* in troilite (FeS) grains from the Bishunpur and Krymka chondrites, two of the least metamorphosed (LL3.1) ordinary chondites.
Journal ArticleDOI

An artificial impact on the asteroid (162173) Ryugu formed a crater in the gravity-dominated regime

Masahiko Arakawa, +81 more
- 03 Apr 2020 - 
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.
