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.

Meteoroid structure and fragmentation [PDF]

open access: yesPlanetary 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.

Meteoroid Engineering Model (MEM): A Meteoroid Model For The Inner Solar System [PDF]

open access: yesEarth, Moon, and Planets, 2004
In an attempt to overcome some of the deficiencies of existing meteoroid models, NASA’s Space Environments and Effects (SEE) Program sponsored a 3 year research effort at the University of Western Ontario. The resulting understanding of the sporadic meteoroid environment – particularly the nature and distribution of the sporadic sources – were then ...

Robotic Systems for Meteor Observing and Moon Impact Flashes Detection in Spain

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, 2010
A robotic observatory has been setup in the south-west of Spain with the aim to study meteoroids interacting with the Earth's atmosphere and meteoroids impacting on the Moon's surface.

Orbital characteristics of meteoroids [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The bulk of meteoroidal particles follow pseudo-random orbits and are termed sporadic meteoroids. These are thought to be derived from the correlated streams of particles released by comets, although the mechanisms by which their orbits are ...

Global Monitoring and Characterization of Infrasound Signatures by Large Fireballs

open access: yesAtmosphere, 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 ...

Determination of meteoroid physical properties from tristatic radar observations [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2008
In this work we give a review of the meteor head echo observations carried out with the tristatic 930 MHz EISCAT UHF radar system during four 24 h runs between 2002 and 2005 and compare these with earlier observations.

An introduction to the Meteor and ionospheric Irregularity Observation System and its preliminary results

open access: yes地球与行星物理论评
Meteoroids entering the Earth's atmosphere lose most of their mass during atmospheric passage and considerably disturb the background ionosphere. To elucidate better the effects of meteoroids on the near-Earth space environment, it is important to ...

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.

Minor Planet Databases

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2015
We cast a retrospective look at the mankind’s acquaintance with minor bodies of the Solar System, at the explosive growth in their discoveries resulting from the technological progress, and at gradual understanding of the danger to our very existence ...
