A dynamical definition of the sphere of influence of the Earth
Irene Cavallari, Clara Grassi, Giovanni F. Gronchi +2
The concept of sphere of influence of a planet is useful in both the context of impact monitoring of asteroids with the Earth and of the design of interplanetary trajectories for s…
A dynamical analysis of the Taurid Complex: evidence for past orbital convergences
A. Egal, P. Wiegert, P. G. Brown +3
The goal of this work is to determine if the dynamics of individual Taurid Complex (TC) objects are consistent with the formation of the complex via fragmentation of a larger body,…
Luminous efficiency based on FRIPON meteors
Esther Drolshagen, Theresa Ott, Detlef Koschny +36
In meteor physics the luminous efficiency is used to convert the meteor's magnitude to the corresponding meteoroid's mass. However, lack of sufficiently accurate verification m…
Improving impact monitoring through Line Of Variations densification
A. Del Vigna, F. Guerra, G. B. Valsecchi
We propose a densification algorithm to improve the Line Of Variations (LOV) method for impact monitoring, which can fail when the information is too little, as it may happen in di…
A Case Study of the May 30th, 2017 Italian Fireball
A. Carbognani, D. Barghini, D. Gardiol +25
On May 30th, 2017 at about 21h 09m 17s UTC a green bright fireball crossed the sky of north-eastern Italy. The fireball path was observed from some all-sky cameras starting from a…
The evolution of the Line of Variations at close encounters: an analytic approach
Giovanni Battista Valsecchi, Alessio Del Vigna, Marta Ceccaroni
We study the post-encounter evolution of fictitious small bodies belonging to the so-called Line of Variations (LoV) in the framework of the analytic theory of close encounters. We…
