Journal ArticleDOI

A high-accuracy map of global terrain elevations

TL;DR: In this article, a high-accuracy global digital elevation model (DEM) was proposed by eliminating major error components from existing DEMs, such as absolute bias, stripe noise, speckle noise, and tree height bias.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

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 surface composition of asteroid 162173 Ryugu from Hayabusa2 near-infrared spectroscopy

Kohei Kitazato, +75 more
- 19 Apr 2019 - 
TL;DR: The Hayabusa2 team's study of the near-Earth carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu, at which the spacecraft arrived in June 2018, describes Ryugu's geological features and surface colors and combined results from all three papers to constrain the asteroid's formation process.
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.
