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

Lunar global shape and polar topography derived from Kaguya-LALT laser altimetry.

TL;DR: A global lunar topographic map with a spatial resolution of finer than 0.5 degree has been derived using data from the laser altimeter on board the Japanese lunar explorer Selenological and Engineering Explorer (SELENE or Kaguya), which reveals unbiased lunar topography for scales finer than a few hundred kilometers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Possible mantle origin of olivine around lunar impact basins detected by SELENE

TL;DR: In this paper, a global survey of the Moon surface using the spectral profiler onboard the lunar explorer SELENE/Kaguya, identifies a number of exposures of olivine in concentric regions around lunar craters, with a possible mantle origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Farside Gravity Field of the Moon from Four-Way Doppler Measurements of SELENE (Kaguya)

TL;DR: The farside gravity field of the Moon is improved from the tracking data of the Selenological and Engineering Explorer via a relay subsatellite, revealing that the farsides has negative anomaly rings unlike positive anomalies on the nearside.
