    Resurfacing processes on asteroid (162173) Ryugu caused by an artificial impact of Hayabusa2's Small Carry-on Impactor
    The resurfacing process on Ryugu accompanying the artificial impact crater formation by Hayabusa2's Small Carry-on Impactor (SCI) was studied by comparing pre-...

    Rotational fission of trans-Neptunian objects: the case of Haumea
    We present several lines of evidence, based on different kinds of observations, and we conclude that it is likely that rotational fission has occurred for a...

    Samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu are similar to Ivuna-type carbonaceous meteorites
    Carbonaceous meteorites are thought to be fragments of C-type (carbonaceous) asteroids. Samples of the C-type asteroid (162173) Ryugu were retrieved by the...
