GROUPS OF METEORITE-PRODUCING METEOROIDS AND METEORITES IN ASTEROIDAL ORBITS AND THEIR SOURCES
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2020 This paper presents the results of the analysis of possible existence of nine near-Earth meteorite-producing groups in asteroidal orbits, consisting of sporadic fireballs from the IAU MDC 2007 database, sporadic meteors from the SonotaCo database ...

Localizing the First Interstellar Meteor with Seismometer Data
Signals, 2023 The first meter-scale interstellar meteor (IM1) was detected by US government sensors in 2014, identified as an interstellar object candidate in 2019, and confirmed by the Department of Defense (DoD) in 2022.

Deepest ever photographed Geminid with small but non-negligible terminal mass
Astronomy & AstrophysicsWe report an instrumental observation of the very exceptional Geminid fireball that was observed in the scope of the Czech part of the European Fireball Network (EN) on 13 December, 2012 at 4h12m59.4s UT.

Mare versus highland lunar impact flash light curve dichotomy
Astronomy & AstrophysicsWe performed a comprehensive analysis of lunar impact flash (LIF) light curve shapes and their dependence on the lunar terrain, using the large sample of LIFs detected by NELIOTA over the last 9 years. We classified 124 multi-frame light curves into mare,

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

The Role of Chlorate‐Driven Oxidative Weathering in Shaping Clay Deposits on Mars
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Oxidized clays and the widespread Al/Si‐over‐Fe/Mg stratigraphy on Mars imply prolonged water‐rock interactions and efficient oxidative weathering despite the largely anoxic conditions of Early Mars when most deposits formed during the climate optimum.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Magnesite (MgCO3) is a magnesium (Mg) carbonate mineral that records the aqueous environmental conditions of its formation. On Earth, magnesite forms in metamorphic, diagenetic or pedogenic environments, and distinguishing between these environments is critical for understanding the fluid chemistry during magnesite precipitation. Mg carbonates

The Nysa family as the main source of unequilibrated LL ordinary chondrites
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. The origin of the petrologic diversity observed in ordinary chondrites (OCs), the most common meteorites on Earth, remains debated. Competing models invoke either depth-dependent sampling of a single thermally stratified (‘onion-shell’) parent ...
