Producing High-Resolution Martian Surface Temperature Maps Using VIR-TIR Relationships

Michael A. Frazer, Eriita G. Jones, Katarina Miljkovic +1

Thermal infrared data (TIR; 8 - 15 ) has a wide range of applications in Earth and planetary remote sensing. On Mars, this includes deriving thermal inertia (TI), which describ…

The Dissipation of the Solar Nebula Constrained by Impacts and Core Cooling in Planetesimals

Alison C. Hunt, Karen J. Theis, Mark Rehkämper +3

Rapid cooling of planetesimal cores has been inferred for several iron meteorite parent bodies based on metallographic cooling rates, and linked to the loss of their insulating man…

Successful Recovery of an Observed Meteorite Fall Using Drones and Machine Learning

Seamus L. Anderson, Martin C. Towner, John Fairweather +6

We report the first-time recovery of a fresh meteorite fall using a drone and a machine learning algorithm. A fireball on the 1st April 2021 was observed over Western Australia by…

Arpu Kuilpu: An H5 from the Outer Main Belt

Patrick M. Shober, Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix, Eleanor K. Sansom +11

On 1 June 2019, just before 7:30 PM local time, the Desert Fireball Network detected a -9.3 magnitude fireball over South Australia near the Western Australia border. The event was…

Trajectory, recovery, and orbital history of the Madura Cave meteorite

Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix, Eleanor K. Sansom, Patrick Shober +11

On the 19th June 2020 at 20:05:07 UTC, a fireball lasting 5.5 s was observed above Western Australia by three Desert Fireball Network observatories. The meteoroid entered the atmos…

Has the impact flux of small and large asteroids varied through time on Mars, the Earth and the Moon?

Anthony Lagain, Mikhail Kreslavsky, David Baratoux +6

The impact flux over the last 3 Ga in the inner Solar System is commonly assumed to be constant through time. However, asteroid break-up events in the main belt may have been respo…

Darkflight estimates of meteorite fall positions: issues and a case study using the Murrili meteorite fall

M. C. Towner, T. Jansen-Sturgeon, M. Cupak +7

Fireball networks are used to recover meteorites, with the context of orbits. Observations from these networks cover the bright flight, where the meteoroid is luminescent, but to r…

Machine Learning for Semi-Automated Meteorite Recovery

Seamus Anderson, Martin Towner, Phil Bland +11

We present a novel methodology for recovering meteorite falls observed and constrained by fireball networks, using drones and machine learning algorithms. This approach uses images…

Murrili meteorite's fall and recovery from Kati Thanda

E. K. Sansom, P. A. Bland, M. C. Towner +9

On the 27th of November 2015, at 10:43:45.526 UTC, a fireball was observed across South Australia by ten Desert Fireball Network observatories lasting 6.1 s. A kg meteoroi…

A Global Fireball Observatory

H. A. R. Devillepoix, M. Cupák, P. A. Bland +46

The world's meteorite collections contain a very rich picture of what the early Solar System would have been made of, however the lack of spatial context with respect to their pare…
