Initial analysis of the asteroid Ryugu sample

The sample from asteroid Ryugu returned to Earth by the asteroid explorer, Hayabusa2, on December 6, 2020,

initially underwent a cataloguing description (Phase-1 curation) at the facility established at JAXA’s Institute of Space and Astronautical Science.

Part of the returned sample was distributed to the Hayabusa2 Initial Analysis Team,

consisting of six sub-teams, and two Phase-2 curation institutes at Okayama University and JAMSTEC Kochi Institute for Core Sample Research.

The initial analysis
is designed to reveal the multifaceted features of the sample through a plan of high-precision analysis,

with specialized sub-teams assigned to tackle the science objectives of the Hayabusa2 mission.

Meanwhile,
the Phase-2 curation institutes have specific specialties

that are utilized to catalogue the sample based on a comprehensive analysis flow,

and clarify the potential impact of the sample through measurement and analysis appropriate to the characteristics of the returned particles.

Reports from the six teams
involved in the initial analysis, as well as those from Okayama University and JAMSTEC Kochi Institute for Core Sample Research,

will be announced separately as the results are published in scientific journals.

After the initial results have been released, a new overall summary of the Hayabusa2 science is planned.

Samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu are similar to Ivuna-type carbonaceous meteorites

Abstract

Carbonaceous meteorites
are thought to be fragments of C-type (carbonaceous) asteroids.

Samples of the C-type asteroid (162173) Ryugu were retrieved by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft.

We measure the mineralogy,
bulk chemical and isotopic compositions of Ryugu samples.

They are mainly composed of materials similar to carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, particularly the CI (Ivuna-type) group.

The samples consist predominantly of minerals formed in aqueous fluid on a parent planetesimal.

The primary minerals
were altered by fluids at a temperature of 37 ± 10°C, 5.2+0.7−0.8 5.2 − 0.8 + 0.7 (Stat.) +1.6−2.1 − 2.1 + 1.6 (Syst.) million years after formation of the first solids in the Solar System.

After aqueous alteration,
the Ryugu samples were likely never heated above ~100°C.

The samples have a chemical composition that more closely resembles the Sun’s photosphere than other natural samples do.
