Effect of neutral winds on the creation of non-specular meteor trail echoes [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2021
Non-specular meteor trail echoes are radar reflections from plasma instabilities that are caused by field-aligned irregularities. Meteor simulations are examined to show that these plasma instabilities, and thus the associated meteor trail echo, strongly

Formation of plasma around a small meteoroid: simulation and theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
High‐power large‐aperture radars detect meteors by reflecting radio waves off dense plasma that surrounds a hypersonic meteoroid as it ablates in the Earth's atmosphere.

Modelling cometary meteoroid stream traverses of the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) spacecraft en route to Phobos

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2021
The Martian Moons Exploration (MMX) spacecraft is a JAXA mission to Mars and its moons Phobos and Deimos. MMX will be equipped with the Circum-Martian Dust Monitor (CMDM) which is a newly developed light-weight ( $$\mathrm {650\,g}$$ 650 g ) large area (

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

open access: yes, 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.

Assessing the meteoroid risk in near earth space

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2018
The meteoroid risk in circumterrestrial space is basically caused by 1-10 mm meteoroid bodies. Meteoroid particles of such dimensions cannot be registered by modern monitoring astronomical instruments.

Exclusive Seismoacoustic Detection and Characterization of an Unseen and Unheard Fireball Over the North Atlantic

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Small meteoroids that enter Earth's atmosphere often go unnoticed because their detection and characterization rely on human observations, introducing observational biases in space and time.

Modern radar techniques and the hazard of meteoroids to space platforms

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1998
Modern radar techniques, and in particular ground based radars, are a powerful tool to observe space objects (natural meteoroids and artificial space debris) on account of their all-weather and day-and-night performance.

Meteoritic influence on sodium and potassium abundance in the lunar exosphere measured by LADEE

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) orbited the Moon for approximately 6 months, taking data with the Lunar Dust Experiment (LDEX), Ultraviolet‐Visible Spectrometer (UVS), and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (NMS).
