The Winchcombe fireball—That lucky survivor

Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2023
AbstractOn February 28, 2021, a fireball dropped ∼0.6 kg of recovered CM2 carbonaceous chondrite meteorites in South‐West England near the town of Winchcombe. We reconstruct the fireball's atmospheric trajectory, light curve, fragmentation behavior, and pre‐atmospheric orbit from optical records contributed by five networks.

Simultaneous UBVRI Observations of the AE Aquarii Blobs

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2015
We summarize the results of our study of the cataclysmic variable AE Aqr on the basis of simultaneous UBV RI observations. For the flares, we estimated the average risetime of about 300 sec, and colours (U−B)0~1.1 and (B−V )0~0.1.

Multi-station fireball observations combining all-sky spectroscopy and optical trajectory measurements

Earth and Planetary Physics
Optical monitoring of fireballs can provide reconstructions of luminous trajectories and the derivation of heliocentric orbits, whereas spectral observations are able to supply information from an entirely different perspective, with composition and ...

A new model for organic peroxide fireballs

, 2017
Organic peroxides are capable to form fireballs with explosive violence. Only fireball models for liquid hydrocarbon fuels are available for the assessment of the thermal radiation properties. Because the development of such fireballs usually differ from

Autonomous spectrographic system to analyse the main elements of fireballs and meteors

Earth, Planets and Space, 2018
We present a meteor observation system based on imaging CCD cameras, wide-field optics and a diffraction grating. This system is composed of two independent spectrographs with different configurations, which allows us to capture images of fireballs and ...

Historical Bolide Infrasound Dataset (1960–1972)

Data
We present the first fully curated, publicly accessible archive of infrasonic records from ten large bolide events documented by the U.S. Air Force Technical Applications Center’s global microbarometer network between 1960 and 1972.
