A high-resolution global basemap of (101955) Bennu

C. A. Bennett et al.

Summary: In early 2019, NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission surveyed asteroid Bennu using PolyCam imager to construct a globally controlled basemap with high spatial accuracy. New mapping methods were developed to combine images of Bennu's irregular shape and rough surface into a seamless mosaic. The techniques used in creating a high-resolution mosaic of the small body are discussed in this study.

Disk-resolved photometric modeling and properties of asteroid (101955) Bennu

D. R. Golish et al.

Summary: The OSIRIS-REx mission aims to return a sample of asteroid Bennu, with photometric modeling of Bennu's surface playing a key role in sample site characterization and broader scientific understanding. The study highlights the importance of resolution in shape modeling for accurate photometric analysis and corrections. Global imaging data is used to fit empirical photometric models for Bennu's surface, revealing insights that can be applied to photometric corrections and albedo analyses of features on Bennu's surface.

Collisional history of Ryugu's parent body from bright surface boulders

E. Tatsumi et al.

Summary: (English Summary:) Using observations from Hayabusa2, the study shows that some bright boulders on the asteroid Ryugu have compositional signatures consistent with ordinary chondrites, likely resulting from collisional mixing with anhydrous silicate-rich asteroids. Another type of bright boulders on Ryugu is more similar to thermal metamorphosed carbonaceous meteorites. These findings provide new insights into the collisional evolution and accumulation of subkilometre rubble-pile asteroids.

Exogenic basalt on asteroid (101955) Bennu

D. N. DellaGiustina et al.

Summary: This study presents the discovery of exotic boulders on the surface of near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu, providing insights into the formation history of Bennu and the collisional evolution of the inner main belt. The presence of HED-like material on Bennu's surface suggests inter-asteroid mixing took place at macroscopic scales well after planetesimal formation ended.
