Evolution of the Dust Trail of Comet 17P/Holmes
Maria Gritsevich, Markku Nissinen, Arto Oksanen +2
The massive outburst of the comet 17P/Holmes in October 2007 is the largest known outburst by a comet thus far. We present a new comprehensive model describing the evolution of the…
Effect of ice sheet thickness on formation of the Hiawatha impact crater
Elizabeth A. Silber, Brandon C. Johnson, Evan Bjonnes +3
The discovery of a large putative impact crater buried beneath Hiawatha Glacier along the margin of the northwestern Greenland Ice Sheet has reinvigorated interest into the nature…
Physically based alternative to the PE criterion for meteoroids
Manuel Moreno-Ibáñez, Maria Gritsevich, Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez +1
Meteoroids impacting the Earth atmosphere are commonly classified using the PE criterion. This criterion was introduced to support the identification of the fireball type by empiri…
Production of nitric oxide by a fragmenting bolide: An exploratory numerical study
Mihai L. Niculescu, Elizabeth A. Silber, Reynold E. Silber
A meteoroid's hypersonic passage through the Earth's atmosphere results in ablational and fragmentational mass loss. Potential shock waves associated with a parent object as well a…
Verification of the flow regimes based on high fidelity observations of bright meteors
Manuel Moreno-Ibáñez, Elizabeth A. Silber, Maria Gritsevich +1
Infrasound monitoring has proved to be effective in detection of the meteor generated shock waves. When combined with optical observations of meteors, this technique is also reliab…
Physics of Meteor Generated Shock Waves in the Earth's Atmosphere - A Review
Elizabeth A. Silber, Mark Boslough, Wayne K. Hocking +2
Shock waves and the associated phenomena generated by strongly ablating meteoroids with sizes greater than a few millimeters in the lower transitional flow regime of the Earth's at…
