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

Tetsuya Yokoyama et al.

Summary: Carbonaceous meteorites from C-type asteroids were examined using samples from asteroid (162173) Ryugu. The samples resemble carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, particularly the CI group, and are made up of minerals formed in aqueous fluids. These minerals were altered at a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius about 5.2 million years after the formation of the first solids in the Solar System. The Ryugu samples have a composition similar to the Sun's photosphere.

Soluble organic molecules in samples of the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu

Hiroshi Naraoka et al.

Summary: The Hayabusa2 spacecraft successfully collected samples from the surface of the asteroid Ryugu and brought them back to Earth. Analyzing the organic molecules extracted from the samples, researchers found a variety of compounds formed by different reactions. These compounds, including amino acids and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are likely of non-biological origin and could have been formed through aqueous reactions on Ryugu's parent body, similar to organics found in meteorites.

Preliminary analysis of the Hayabusa2 samples returned from C-type asteroid Ryugu

Toru Yada et al.

Summary: Research on the samples returned from Ryugu by Hayabusa2 found that they mainly consist of rugged and smooth particles of millimetre to submillimetre size, with lower density than meteorites, suggesting high microporosity. The carbonaceous composition with indigenous aqueous alteration confirms the similarity of Ryugu to CI chondrites, but with lower albedo, higher porosity, and more fragile characteristics.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in carbonaceous chondrites can be used as tracers of both pre-accretion and secondary processes

Marceau Lecasble et al.

Summary: Carbonaceous chondrites contain various soluble compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The origin of PAHs in these chondrites is debated, but they may provide information about accretion and alteration processes. The size and isotopic composition of PAHs can reveal information about these processes.

Motoo Ito et al.

Summary: The experiment analyzed the carbonaceous materials generated in the laboratory, identifying their chemical nature through various analytical techniques. It was found that proper combinations of parameters and analytical methods can distinguish Ryugu samples from potential contaminants. This assessment provides useful information for analyzing Ryugu asteroidal samples.
