Objects gravitationally captured by the Earth-Moon system are commonly called temporarily captured orbiters (TCOs), natural Earth satellites, or minimoons. TCOs are a crucially imp…
Where Did They Come From, Where Did They Go. Grazing Fireballs
P. M. Shober, T. Jansen-Sturgeon, E. K. Sansom +6
For centuries extremely-long grazing fireball displays have fascinated observers and inspired people to ponder about their origins. The Desert Fireball Network (DFN) is the largest…
Recreating the OSIRIS-REx Slingshot Manoeuvre from a Network of Ground-Based Sensors
Trent Jansen-Sturgeon, Benjamin A. D. Hartig, Gregory J. Madsen +20
Optical tracking systems typically trade-off between astrometric precision and field-of-view. In this work, we showcase a networked approach to optical tracking using very wide fie…
Fireball streak detection with minimal CPU processing requirements for the Desert Fireball Network data processing pipeline
Martin C. Towner, Martin Cupak, Robert M. Howie +6
The detection of fireballs streaks in astronomical imagery can be carried out by a variety of methods. The Desert Fireball Network--DFN--uses a network of cameras to track and tria…
