In this study, NRM measurements suggest that the observed characteristics of Ryugu particles is a chemical remanent magnetization, likely acquired during growth of framboidal magnetite that occurred ...

To uncover the history of our solar system, it is necessary to study the dynamic evolution of the ancient solar nebula materials. These materials interacted and coevolved with the weak but widespread ...

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called "S-lunar," contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

The first few exoplanets were discovered in the early 1990s. But it wasn’t until the early 2000s, when astronomers began carrying out large-scale, long-term surveys of other stars, that we started to ...

In the young Solar System, a dust trap beyond Jupiter may have built wildly different meteorite parent bodies over two million years. New simulations suggest the same ring-shaped region sorted and ...
