Observational Evidence for Wind‐Driven Low‐Pass Filtering of Infrasound at Short Range
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Infrasound from controlled explosions provides a unique opportunity to isolate atmospheric effects on propagation. We report observations from two campaigns in May and October 2024, each featuring 10‐ton TNT‐equivalent controlled surface chemical explosions recorded by a dense network of 31 single‐sensor stations within 23 km.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The longest known Aletai meteorite belt presents a unique phenomenon in meteoroid dynamics. To investigate its formation mechanism, this study introduces a bilobate‐shaped meteoroid model, emphasizing aerodynamic interactions and structure evolution.

Decameter‐Sized Earth Impactors—II: A Bayesian Inference Approach to Meteoroid Ablation Modeling
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Small asteroids and large meteoroids frequently impact the Earth, though their physical and material properties remain poorly understood. When observed as fireballs in Earth's atmosphere, these properties can be inferred from their ablation and fragmentation behavior.

Tra lingua dell’astronomia e lingua comune
Cuadernos de Filología Italiana, 2015 Il presente articolo analizza fenomeni di passaggio dal settoriale al comune e viceversa nell’ambito dell’astronomia. Lo studio permette di rintracciare suggestive forme di dialogo e non cesure tra passato e presente, tra tecnico e comune, un dialogo ...

Small but mighty: Impact hazards from iron Near‐Earth Objects
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 224-240, February 2026.Abstract Small asteroids can impact Earth unexpectedly, as demonstrated by the Chelyabinsk event in 2013. The warning times are likely to be short, and the first tools for fast hazard predictions have been developed in the last years for encounters with rocky or cometary objects, which quickly fragment in the atmosphere and cause airbursts. However, in
