Deepest ever photographed Geminid with small but non-negligible terminal mass

Astronomy & Astrophysics
We 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.

Near Earth Object 2012XJ112 as a source of bright bolides of achondritic nature [PDF]

, 2014
We analyze the likely link between the recently discovered Near Earth Object 2012XJ112 and a bright fireball observed over the south of Spain on December 27, 2012.

Orbital evolution of P\v{r}\'{i}bram and Neuschwanstein

, 2011
The orbital evolution of the two meteorites P\v{r}\'{i}bram and Neuschwanstein on almost identical orbits and also several thousand clones were studied in the framework of the N-body problem for 5000 years into the past.

Tidal disruption of NEAs - a case of P\v{r}\'ibram

, 2011
This work studies the dynamical evolution of a possible meteor stream along the orbit of the P\v{r}\'{i}bram meteorite, which originated in the tidal disruption of the putative rubble-pile-like parent body during a close approach to the Earth. We assumed

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

Determining impact angle from the spatial distribution of shock metamorphism: A case study of the Gosses Bluff (Tnorala) impact structure, Australia

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Two faces of L-type asteroids

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. L-types are a rare class of asteroids whose spectra indicate similarities with CO and CV chondrites, suggesting high abundances of refractory inclusions, particularly with respect to the calcium-aluminium-rich inclusion.

Lateral Variations in Lunar Crustal Thickness Inferred From Apollo Seismic and GRAIL Gravity Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The internal structure of the Moon is key to understanding its formation, evolution, and bulk composition. In particular, determining the structure of the crust–mantle interface (Moho), including its lateral variations, is of significant importance, but current knowledge is still insufficient to fully constrain it.

Bolide Infrasound Signal Morphology and Yield Estimates: A Case Study of Two Events Detected by a Dense Acoustic Sensor Network

The Astronomical Journal
Two bolides (2016 June 2 and 2019 April 4) were detected at multiple regional infrasound stations, with many of the locations receiving multiple detections.
