Measuring the meteoroid environments of the planets with meteor detectors on Earth
, 2017 We describe how meteors recorded at the Earth can be used to partly reconstruct the meteoroid environments of the planets if a large sample (i.e. millions of orbits at a minimum) is available.

A Search for Meteoroid Streams and Their Sources in the Near-Sun Zodiacal Dust Cloud
The Astrophysical JournalThe structure and dynamics of the zodiacal cloud close to the Sun may be significantly influenced by the interaction between a background quasihomogeneous zodiacal cloud and discrete meteoroid streams associated with small bodies like comets and ...

Long-Term Continuous Double Station Observation of Faint Meteor Showers
Sensors, 2016 Meteor detection and analysis is an essential topic in the field of astronomy. In this paper, a high-sensitivity and high-time-resolution imaging device for the detection of faint meteoric events is presented. The instrument is based on a fast CCD camera

Dust dynamic pressure and magnetopause displacement: reasons for non-detection [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2013 In a recent paper, Treumann and Baumjohann (2011) propose that the contribution of dust particles to the solar wind dynamic pressure can cause large compressions of the Earth's magnetopause and suggest that this occurs when Earth encounters ...

, 1973 A meteoroid detector is described which uses, a cold cathode discharge tube with a gas-pressurized cell in space for recording a meteoroid puncture of the cell and for determining the size of the ...

Dormant Comets Among the Near-Earth Object Population: A Meteor-Based Survey
, 2016 Dormant comets in the near-Earth object (NEO) population are thought to be involved in the terrestrial accretion of water and organic materials. Identification of dormant comets is difficult as they are observationally indistinguishable from their ...

Meteoroid Stream Identification with HDBSCAN Unsupervised Clustering Algorithm
The Astronomical JournalAccurate identification of meteoroid streams is central to understanding their origins and evolution. However, overlapping clusters and background noise hinder classification, an issue amplified for missions such as the European Space Agency’s Lunar ...

Determination of meteor-head echo trajectories using the interferometric capabilities of MAARSY [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2013 During the flight of a meteoroid through the neutral atmosphere, the high kinetic energy is sufficient to ionize the meteoric constituents. Radar echoes coming from plasma irregularities surrounding the meteoroids are called meteor-head echoes, and ...

, 2017 Combining dynamical models of dust from Jupiter Family Comets and Halley-type Comets, we demonstrate that the seasonal variation of the dust/meteoroid environment at Mercury is responsible for producing the dawn-dusk asymmetry in Mercury's exosphere ...
