An asteroid that has been wandering through space for billions of years is going to have been bombarded by everything from rocks to radiation. Billions of years of traveling through interplanetary ...
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 ...
