Data on 824 fireballs observed by the digital cameras of the European Fireball Network in 2017-2018. II. Analysis of orbital and physical properties of centimeter-sized meteoroids [PDF]
, 2022 Meteoroids impacting the Earth on a daily basis are fragments of asteroids and comets. By studying fireballs produced during their disintegration in the atmosphere, we can gain information about their source regions and the properties of their parent ...

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.

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

Orbital characteristics of meteoroids [PDF]
, 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 ...

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

Assessing the meteoroid risk in near earth space
Open 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.

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 ...
