AI-Enhanced Data Processing and Discovery Crowd Sourcing for Meteor Shower Mapping

Siddha Ganju, Amartya Hatua, Peter Jenniskens +3

The Cameras for Allsky Meteor Surveillance (CAMS) project, funded by NASA starting in 2010, aims to map our meteor showers by triangulating meteor trajectories detected in low-ligh…

Detection of Cosmic Fullerenes in the Almahata Sitta Meteorite: Are They an Interstellar Heritage?

Hassan Sabbah, Mickaël Carlos, Peter Jenniskens +4

Buckminsterfullerene, C60 , is the largest molecule observed to date in interstellar and circumstellar environments. The mechanism of formation of this molecule is actively debated…

Simultaneous broadband radio and optical emission of meteor trains imaged by LOFAR / AARTFAAC and CAMS

Tammo Jan Dijkema, Cees Bassa, Mark Kuiack +5

We report on simultaneous 30 - 60 MHz LOFAR / AARTFAAC12 radio observations and CAMS low-light video observations of +4 to -10 magnitude meteors at the peak of the Perseid meteor s…

Recovery of Meteorites Using an Autonomous Drone and Machine Learning

Robert I. Citron, Peter Jenniskens, Christopher Watkins +5

The recovery of freshly fallen meteorites from tracked and triangulated meteors is critical to determining their source asteroid families. However, locating meteorite fragments in…

The impact and recovery of asteroid 2018 LA

Peter Jenniskens, Mohutsiwa Gabadirwe, Qing-Zhu Yin +63

The June 2, 2018, impact of asteroid 2018 LA over Botswana is only the second asteroid detected in space prior to impacting over land. Here, we report on the successful recovery of…

The Sariçiçek howardite fall in Turkey: Source crater of HED meteorites on Vesta and impact risk of Vestoids

Ozan Unsalan, Peter Jenniskens, Qing-Zhu Yin +76

The Sariçiçek howardite meteorite shower consisting of 343 documented stones occurred on 2 September 2015 in Turkey and is the first documented howardite fall. Cosmogenic isotopes…

Evidence for 2009 WN25 being the parent body of the November i-Draconids (NID)

Marco Micheli, David J. Tholen, Peter Jenniskens

In this work we propose the Amor-type asteroid 2009 WN25 as the likely progenitor of the November i-Draconids (NID, IAU#392), a recently detected weak annual meteoroid stream. We f…

The orbit and dynamical evolution of the Chelyabinsk object

Vacheslav V. Emel'yanenko, Sergey A. Naroenkov, Peter Jenniskens +1

The orbit of the Chelyabinsk object is calculated, applying the least-squares method directly to astrometric positions. The dynamical evolution of this object in the past is studie…

Detecting Earth's Temporarily-Captured Natural Satellites - Minimoons

Bryce Bolin, Robert Jedicke, Mikael Granvik +7

We present a study on the discoverability of temporarily captured orbiters (TCOs) by present day or near-term anticipated ground-based and space-based facilities. TCOs (Granvik et…

New meteor showers identified in the CAMS and SonotaCo meteoroid orbit surveys

Regina Rudawska, Peter Jenniskens

A cluster analysis was applied to the combined meteoroid orbit database derived from low-light level video observations by the SonotaCo consortium in Japan (64,650 meteors observed…

Dynamical Model for the Zodiacal Cloud and Sporadic Meteors

David Nesvorny, Diego Janches, David Vokrouhlicky +3

The solar system is dusty, and would become dustier over time as asteroids collide and comets disintegrate, except that small debris particles in interplanetary space do not last l…

Cometary Origin of the Zodiacal Cloud and Carbonaceous Micrometeorites

David Nesvorny, Peter Jenniskens, Harold F. Levison +2

The zodiacal cloud is a thick circumsolar disk of small debris particles produced by asteroid collisions and comets. Here, we present a zodiacal cloud model based on the orbital pr…
