The velocity of meteoroids: a historical review [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2004 Determining the velocity of meteoroids as they enter the Earth's atmosphere is very important since the value is fundamental in calculating the orbit of the meteoroid and hence eventually its origin.

3D meteoroid trajectories [PDF]
Icarus, 2019 Meteoroid modelling of fireball data typically uses a one dimensional model along a straight line triangulated trajectory. The assumption of a straight line trajectory has been considered an acceptable simplification for fireballs, but it has not been rigorously tested.

The Dynamics of Meteoroid Streams [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1992 Meteor showers are seen at regular and frequent intervals on Earth. They are caused by meteoroids (that is small dust grains) in a coherent stream, all moving on similar heliocentric orbits, burning up on encountering the atmosphere of the Earth. Such streams contain 1012 or more meteoroids, with the mass of the visible meteoroids ranging up to about 1

Atmosphere, 2018 Nitric oxide (NO) is a critical indicator of energy deposition in the lower thermosphere because of its formational pathways. Thus, it is important to constrain sources of NO, such as meteoroid generated hypersonic flows below 95 km altitude.

SPACE DENSITY DISTRIBUTION OF METEOROIDS OVER THE SPHERE WITH RADIUS 1 A.U.
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 Space density distributions of meteoroids over the sphere with radius 1 AU and the centre in the Sun were found for meteoroid masses greater than 10-3 g, 10-2 g and 1 g.

Meteoroid structure and fragmentation [PDF]
Planetary and Space Science, 2019 The physical composition and structure of meteoroids gives us insight into the formation processes of their parent asteroids and comets. The strength of and fundamental grain sizes in meteoroids tell us about the environment in which small solar system bodies formed, and the processes which built up these basic planetary building blocks.

Global Monitoring and Characterization of Infrasound Signatures by Large Fireballs
Atmosphere, 2020 Large meteoroids can be registered in infrasound recordings during their entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. A comprehensive study of 10 large fireball events of the years 2018 and 2019 highlights their detection and characterization using global ...
