GROUPS OF METEORITE-PRODUCING METEOROIDS AND METEORITES IN ASTEROIDAL ORBITS AND THEIR SOURCES

open access: yesOdessa 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 ...

Interplanetary Dust, Meteoroids, Meteors and Meteorites

open access: yesSpace Science Reviews, 2019
Interplanetary dust particles and meteoroids mostly originate from comets and asteroids. Understanding their distribution in the Solar system, their dynamical behavior and their properties, sheds light on the current state and the dynamical behavior of the Solar system.

Analysis of CN emission as a marker of organic compounds in meteoroids using laboratory simulated meteors [PDF]

open access: yesIcarus (New York, N.Y. 1962), 2023
Fragments of small solar system bodies entering Earth's atmosphere have possibly been important contributors of organic compounds to the early Earth.

Hydrogen emission from meteors and meteorites: mapping traces of H$_{2}$O molecules and organic compounds in small Solar system bodies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The hydrogen emission from meteors is assumed to originate mainly from the meteoroid composition, making it a potential tracer of H$_{2}$O molecules and organic compounds.

Localizing the First Interstellar Meteor with Seismometer Data

open access: yesSignals, 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.

Semi-automatic meteoroid fragmentation modeling using genetic algorithms [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2023
Meteoroids are pieces of asteroids and comets. They serve as unique probes to the physical and chemical properties of their parent bodies. We can derive some of these properties when meteoroids collide with the atmosphere of Earth and become a meteor or ...

Meteors: Light from Comets and Asteroids [PDF]

open access: yesReviews in Frontiers of Modern Astrophysics, 2020
In studies of the oldest solar system bodies—comets and asteroids—it is their fragments—meteoroids—that provide the most accessible planetary material for detailed laboratory analysis in the form of dust particles or meteorites. Some asteroids and comets

Slow Neutron-Capture Process: Low-Mass Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars and Presolar Silicon Carbide Grains

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Presolar grains are microscopic dust grains that formed in the stellar winds or explosions of ancient stars that died before the formation of the solar system.

The First Instrumentally Documented Fall of an Iron Meteorite: Orbit and Possible Origin

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A bright fireball observed on 2020 November 7, over Scandinavia, produced the first iron meteorite with a well-determined pre-atmospheric trajectory.

Characterization of the Fireballs Detected by All-sky Cameras in Romania

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2022
Some of the fields of research that have captured the persistent interest of both scientists and the general public are meteor phenomena. The main goal in the study of meteoroid impacts into Earth’s atmosphere is the recovery of the remnant matter after ...
