The Colibri Telescope Array for KBO Detection through Serendipitous Stellar Occultations: a Technical Description
M. J. Mazur, S. Metchev, R. A. Brown +4
We present the technical design, construction and testing of the Colibri telescope array at Elginfield Observatory near London, Ontario, Canada. Three 50-cm telescopes are arranged…
Computing optical meteor flux using Global Meteor Network data
Denis Vida, Rhiannon C. Blaauw Erskine, Peter G. Brown +3
Meteor showers and their outbursts are the dominant source of meteoroid impact risk to spacecraft on short time scales. Meteor shower prediction models depend on historical observa…
Development of a Very Faint Meteor Detection System based on an EMCCD Sensor and Matched Filter Processing
P. Gural, T. Mills, M. Mazur +1
The mass ranges of meteors, imaged by electro-optical (EO) cameras and backscatter radar receivers, for the most part do not overlap. Typical EO systems detect meteoroid masses dow…
Iron Rain: measuring the occurrence rate and origin of small iron meteoroids at Earth
Tristan Mills, P. G. Brown, M. J. Mazur +3
We report results of a four-year survey using Electron Multiplied Charged Coupled Device (EMCCD) cameras recording 34761 two-station video meteor events complete to a limiting magn…
The Global Meteor Network -- Methodology and First Results
Denis Vida, Damir Šegon, Peter S. Gural +10
The Global Meteor Network (GMN) utilizes highly sensitive low-cost CMOS video cameras which run open-source meteor detection software on Raspberry Pi computers. Currently, over 450…
Precision measurements of radar transverse scattering speeds from meteor phase characteristics
Michael Mazur, Petr Pokorny, Peter Brown +5
We describe an improved technique for using the backscattered phase from meteor radar echo measurements just prior to the specular point () to calculate meteor speeds and th…
A new method for measuring the meteor mass index: application to the 2018 Draconid meteor shower outburst
Denis Vida, Margaret Campbell-Brown, Peter G. Brown +2
Context. Several authors predicted an outburst of the Draconid meteor shower in 2018, but with an uncertain level of activity. Aims. Optical meteor observations were used to derive…
Telescope Fabra ROA Montsec: a new robotic wide-field Baker-Nunn facility
O. Fors, J. Núñez, J. L. Muiños +7
A Baker-Nunn Camera (BNC), originally installed at the Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada (ROA) in 1958, was refurbished and robotized. The new facility, called Telescope F…
