May 25, 2023<p id="p1">The elastic property of asteroids is one of the paramount parameters forunderstanding their physical nature. For example, the rigidity enablesus to discuss the asteroid’s shape and surface features such as cratersand boulders, leading to a better understanding of geomorphological andgeological features on small celestial bodies. The sound velocity allowsus to construct an equation of state that is the most fundamental stepto simulate the formation of small bodies numerically. Moreover, seismicwave velocities and attenuation factors are useful to account forresurfacing caused by impact-induced seismic shaking. The elasticproperty of asteroids thus plays an important role in elucidating theasteroid’s evolution and current geological processes. The Hayabusa2spacecraft brought back the rock samples from C-type asteroid (162173)Ryugu in December 2020. As a part of the initial analysis of returnedsamples, we measured the seismic wave velocity of the Ryugu samplesusing the pulse transmission method. We found that P- and S-wavevelocities of the Ryugu samples were about 2.1 km/s and 1.2 km/s,respectively. We also estimated Young’s modulus of 6.0 – 8.0 GPa. Acomparison of the derived parameters with those of carbonaceouschondrites showed that the Ryugu samples have a similar elastic propertyto the Tagish Lake meteorite, which may have come from a D-typeasteroid. Both Ryugu and Tagish Lake show a high degree of aqueousalteration and few high-temperature components such as chondrules,indicating that they formed in the outer region of the solar system.</p>

Science, 379(6634), Feb 24, 2023 Peer-reviewedSamples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu were brought to Earth by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. We analyzed 17 Ryugu samples measuring 1 to 8 millimeters. Carbon dioxide–bearing water inclusions are present within a pyrrhotite crystal, indicating that Ryugu’s parent asteroid formed in the outer Solar System. The samples contain low abundances of materials that formed at high temperatures, such as chondrules and calcium- and aluminum-rich inclusions. The samples are rich in phyllosilicates and carbonates, which formed through aqueous alteration reactions at low temperature, high pH, and water/rock ratios of <1 (by mass). Less altered fragments contain olivine, pyroxene, amorphous silicates, calcite, and phosphide. Numerical simulations, based on the mineralogical and physical properties of the samples, indicate that Ryugu’s parent body formed ~2 million years after the beginning of Solar System formation.
