Presented here are the observations and interpretations from a comprehensive analysis of
16 representative particles returned from the C-type asteroid Ryugu by the Hayabusa2 …

The CM carbonaceous chondrite meteorites provide a record of low temperature (< 150° C)
aqueous reactions in the early solar system. A number of CM chondrites also experienced …

The thermal history of asteroids is recorded by the radioisotopic ages of meteorites that
derive from them. Radioisotopic ages may date a number of events, such as the cooling of a …

Context. Orbital similarity measures, such as the D values, have been extensively used in
meteor science to identify meteoroid streams and associate meteorite falls with near-Earth …

A variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are reported in carbonaceous
chondrites (CCs) and in the interstellar medium (ISM). Although PAHs in CCs are not as …

Thermal metamorphism for asteroids influences their structures and chemical compositions.
As the only CCs with the petrologic type of 3-6, their metamorphis history and heat sources …

This study investigates the expected cosmic‐ray exposure (CRE) of meteorites if they were
to be ejected by a near‐Earth object, that is, from an object already transferred to an Earth …

Comets and asteroids have traditionally been separated categories, but main belt comets
skew this view, portraying a possible intermediate stage between these two end members …

Chondrites are leftover solids from the early evolution of the solar protoplanetary disk that
never experienced melting since their formation. They comprise unequilibrated …

The collision history of asteroids is an important archive of inner Solar System evolution.
Evidence for these collisions is brought to Earth by meteorites. However, as meteorites often …
