Numerical simulations of catastrophic collisions of asteroids and fractions of impactor fragments included in remnants
The Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa2 visited the asteroid Ryugu and conducted the detailed proximity observations. The observations show that Ryugu is a rubble-pile asteroid and it was formed through a catastrophic collision of a parent body (Watanabe et al. 2019). Ryugu's spectral features and the studies of orbital evolutions of asteroids suggest
