“…Similar to investigations of lunar soils, analysis of the space weathering characteristics of Itokawa grains has predominantly focused on silicate minerals, including pyroxene, olivine, and plagioclase. Those analyses have revealed completely and partially amorphous rims, multilayer rims that are chemically distinct from the underlying grain, vesiculated textures, and Fe- and Fe-sulfide nanoparticles (npFeS) (Noguchi et al 2011 , 2014a , b ; Keller and Berger 2014 ; Thompson et al 2014 ; Burgess and Stroud 2021 ). In particular, the presence of npFeS in Itokawa samples was novel, as the nanoparticles in space-weathered lunar samples are predominantly composed of Fe 0 (Keller and McKay 1993 ; Thompson et al 2016 ; Burgess and Stroud 2018 ).…”
