The velocity of meteoroids: a historical review [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric 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]

open access: yesIcarus, 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.

Nitric Oxide Production by Centimeter-Sized Meteoroids and the Role of Linear and Nonlinear Processes in the Shock Bound Flow Fields

open access: yesAtmosphere, 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.

A Review of Infrasound and Seismic Observations of Sample Return Capsules since the End of the Apollo Era in Anticipation of the OSIRIS-REx Arrival

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2023
Advancements in space exploration and sample return technology present a unique opportunity to leverage sample return capsules (SRCs) towards studying atmospheric entry of meteoroids and asteroids.

SPACE DENSITY DISTRIBUTION OF METEOROIDS OVER THE SPHERE WITH RADIUS 1 A.U.

open access: yesOdessa 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.

3D/Biela and the Andromedids: Fragmenting versus Sublimating Comets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Comet 3D/Biela broke up in 1842/1843 and continued to disintegrate in the returns of 1846 and 1852. When meteor storms were observed in November of 1872 and 1885, it was surmised that those showers were the debris from that breakup.

The return of the Andromedids meteor shower [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Andromedid meteor shower underwent spectacular outbursts in 1872 and 1885, producing thousands of visual meteors per hour and described as `stars fell like rain' in Chinese records of the time.

The 2011 October Draconids outburst. I. Orbital elements, meteoroid fluxes and 21P/Giacobini-Zinner delivered mass to Earth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
On October 8th, 2011 the Earth crossed the dust trails left by comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner during its XIX and XX century perihelion approaches with the comet being close to perihelion.

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.
