Abstract
Asteroids smaller than about 50 km in diameter are the result of the break-up of a larger parent body. They are often considered to be rubble-pile objects, aggregates held together only by self-gravity or small cohesive forces, and have highly heterogeneous surfaces. Recently, the artificial impact experiment (SCI) of JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission on the surface of asteroid Ryugu created a relatively large crater (~14 m diameter) despite the presence of large boulders close to the impact location...
