Shock wave formation in the thermosphere by an earthgrazing fireball: Empirical evidence for volatile-enhanced hydrodynamic shielding
Elizabeth A. Silber, Denis Vida, Miro Ronac Giannone +7
Hydrodynamic shielding is a theoretically well-established but observationally elusive and experimentally difficult-to-replicate phenomenon with implications that extend far beyond…
Multi-parameter constraints on empirical infrasound period-yield relations for bolides and implications for planetary defense
Elizabeth A. Silber, Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez, Iyare Oseghae +18
How effective are methods for estimating bolide energies from infrasound signal period-yield relationships? A single global period-energy relation can obscure significant variabili…
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…
On Shock Waves and the Role of Hyperthermal Chemistry in the Early Diffusion of Overdense Meteor Trains
Elizabeth A. Silber, Wayne K. Hocking, Mihai L. Niculescu +2
Studies of meteor trails have until now been limited to relatively simple models, with the trail often being treated as a conducting cylinder, and the head (if considered at all) t…
