Description
Based on the observations by the optical navigation camera on the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, stronger 0.7-micron band absorption, which might attribute to hydrated minerals, was found on the pole regions of the C-type asteroid Ryugu. This could be because of less irradiation rate from the Sun.
