  • High-resolution observations of bright boulders on asteroid Ryugu: 1. Size frequency distribution and morphology
    The near-Earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu displays a Cb-type average spectrum and a very low average normal albedo of 0.04. Although the majority of boulders on Ryugu have reflectance spectra and albedo similar to the Ryugu average, a small fraction of boulders exhibit anomalously high albedo and distinctively different spectra. A previous study

  • High-resolution observations of bright boulders on asteroid Ryugu: 2. Spectral properties
    Many small boulders with reflectance values higher than 1.5 times the average reflectance have been found on the near-Earth asteroid 162,173 Ryugu. Based on their visible wavelength spectral differences, Tatsumi et al. (2021, Nature Astronomy, 5, doi:10.1038/s41550-020-1179-z) defined two bright boulder classes: C-type and S-type. These two

  • Geologic History and Crater Morphology of Asteroid (162173) Ryugu
    Crater morphology and surface age of asteroid (162173) Ryugu are characterized using the high-resolution images obtained by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. Our observations reveal that the abundant boulders on and under the surface of the rubble-pile asteroid affect crater morphology. Most of the craters on Ryugu exhibit well-defined circular depressions

  • Implications of new evidence for lepton-universality violation in b →s <SUP>ℓ+</SUP><SUP>ℓ-</SUP> decays
    Motivated by renewed evidence for new physics in b →s ℓℓ transitions in the form of LHCb's new measurements of theoretically clean lepton-universality ratios and the purely leptonic B s→μ +μ - decay, we quantify the combined level of discrepancy with the Standard Model and fit values of short-distance Wilson coefficients. A combination of the clean
