    Description: A single grain (~3 micrograms) returned by the Hayabusa spacecraft was analyzed by neutron activation analysis. This grain is mainly composed of olivine with minor amounts of plagioclase, troilite, and metal. Our results establish that the Itokawa sample has similar chemical characteristics (iron/scandium and nickel/cobalt ratios) to chondrites, confirming that this grain is extraterrestrial in origin and has primitive chemical compositions. Estimated iridium/nickel and iridium/cobalt ratios for metal in the Itokawa samples are about five times lower than CI carbonaceous chondrite values. A similar depletion of iridium was observed in chondrule metals of ordinary chondrites. These metals must have condensed from the nebular where refractory siderophile elements already condensed and were segregated.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ebihara, M -- Sekimoto, S -- Shirai, N -- Hamajima, Y -- Yamamoto, M -- Kumagai, K -- Oura, Y -- Ireland, T R -- Kitajima, F -- Nagao, K -- Nakamura, T -- Naraoka, H -- Noguchi, T -- Okazaki, R -- Tsuchiyama, A -- Uesugi, M -- Yurimoto, H -- Zolensky, M E -- Abe, M -- Fujimura, A -- Mukai, T -- Yada, Y -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Aug 26;333(6046):1119-21. doi: 10.1126/science.1207865.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Hachioji, Tokyo 192-0397, Japan. ebihara-mitsuru@tmu.ac.jp〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21868669" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Regolith particles on the asteroid Itokawa were recovered by the Hayabusa mission. Their three-dimensional (3D) structure and other properties, revealed by x-ray microtomography, provide information on regolith formation. Modal abundances of minerals, bulk density (3.4 grams per cubic centimeter), and the 3D textures indicate that the particles represent a mixture of equilibrated and less-equilibrated LL chondrite materials. Evidence for melting was not seen on any of the particles. Some particles have rounded edges. Overall, the particles' size and shape are different from those seen in particles from the lunar regolith. These features suggest that meteoroid impacts on the asteroid surface primarily form much of the regolith particle, and that seismic-induced grain motion in the smooth terrain abrades them over time.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tsuchiyama, Akira -- Uesugi, Masayuki -- Matsushima, Takashi -- Michikami, Tatsuhiro -- Kadono, Toshihiko -- Nakamura, Tomoki -- Uesugi, Kentaro -- Nakano, Tsukasa -- Sandford, Scott A -- Noguchi, Ryo -- Matsumoto, Toru -- Matsuno, Junya -- Nagano, Takashi -- Imai, Yuta -- Takeuchi, Akihisa -- Suzuki, Yoshio -- Ogami, Toshihiro -- Katagiri, Jun -- Ebihara, Mitsuru -- Ireland, Trevor R -- Kitajima, Fumio -- Nagao, Keisuke -- Naraoka, Hiroshi -- Noguchi, Takaaki -- Okazaki, Ryuji -- Yurimoto, Hisayoshi -- Zolensky, Michael E -- Mukai, Toshifumi -- Abe, Masanao -- Yada, Toru -- Fujimura, Akio -- Yoshikawa, Makoto -- Kawaguchi, Junichiro -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Aug 26;333(6046):1125-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1207807.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Earth and Space Science, Osaka University, Toyonaka, 560-0043, Japan. akira@ess.sci.osaka-u.ac.jp〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21868671" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Meteorite studies suggest that each solar system object has a unique oxygen isotopic composition. Chondrites, the most primitive of meteorites, have been believed to be derived from asteroids, but oxygen isotopic compositions of asteroids themselves have not been established. We measured, using secondary ion mass spectrometry, oxygen isotopic compositions of rock particles from asteroid 25143 Itokawa returned by the Hayabusa spacecraft. Compositions of the particles are depleted in (16)O relative to terrestrial materials and indicate that Itokawa, an S-type asteroid, is one of the sources of the LL or L group of equilibrated ordinary chondrites. This is a direct oxygen-isotope link between chondrites and their parent asteroid.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yurimoto, Hisayoshi -- Abe, Ken-ichi -- Abe, Masanao -- Ebihara, Mitsuru -- Fujimura, Akio -- Hashiguchi, Minako -- Hashizume, Ko -- Ireland, Trevor R -- Itoh, Shoichi -- Katayama, Juri -- Kato, Chizu -- Kawaguchi, Junichiro -- Kawasaki, Noriyuki -- Kitajima, Fumio -- Kobayashi, Sachio -- Meike, Tatsuji -- Mukai, Toshifumi -- Nagao, Keisuke -- Nakamura, Tomoki -- Naraoka, Hiroshi -- Noguchi, Takaaki -- Okazaki, Ryuji -- Park, Changkun -- Sakamoto, Naoya -- Seto, Yusuke -- Takei, Masashi -- Tsuchiyama, Akira -- Uesugi, Masayuki -- Wakaki, Shigeyuki -- Yada, Toru -- Yamamoto, Kosuke -- Yoshikawa, Makoto -- Zolensky, Michael E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Aug 26;333(6046):1116-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1207776.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Natural History Sciences, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-0810, Japan. yuri@ep.sci.hokudai.ac.jp〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21868668" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Noble gas isotopes were measured in three rocky grains from asteroid Itokawa to elucidate a history of irradiation from cosmic rays and solar wind on its surface. Large amounts of solar helium (He), neon (Ne), and argon (Ar) trapped in various depths in the grains were observed, which can be explained by multiple implantations of solar wind particles into the grains, combined with preferential He loss caused by frictional wear of space-weathered rims on the grains. Short residence time of less than 8 million years was implied for the grains by an estimate on cosmic-ray-produced (21)Ne. Our results suggest that Itokawa is continuously losing its surface materials into space at a rate of tens of centimeters per million years. The lifetime of Itokawa should be much shorter than the age of our solar system.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nagao, Keisuke -- Okazaki, Ryuji -- Nakamura, Tomoki -- Miura, Yayoi N -- Osawa, Takahito -- Bajo, Ken-ichi -- Matsuda, Shintaro -- Ebihara, Mitsuru -- Ireland, Trevor R -- Kitajima, Fumio -- Naraoka, Hiroshi -- Noguchi, Takaaki -- Tsuchiyama, Akira -- Yurimoto, Hisayoshi -- Zolensky, Michael E -- Uesugi, Masayuki -- Shirai, Kei -- Abe, Masanao -- Yada, Toru -- Ishibashi, Yukihiro -- Fujimura, Akio -- Mukai, Toshifumi -- Ueno, Munetaka -- Okada, Tatsuaki -- Yoshikawa, Makoto -- Kawaguchi, Junichiro -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Aug 26;333(6046):1128-31. doi: 10.1126/science.1207785.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Geochemical Research Center, The University of Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan. nagao@eqchem.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21868672" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
