Determining elemental composition in laboratory meteorite ablation spectra through radiative transfer modeling

Adriana Pisarčíková, Jiří Borovička, Pavol Matlovič

Laboratory simulations of meteor ablation provide a critical quantitative link between the chemical composition of meteoroids and their observed spectral features. In this work, we…

Correction of the influence of rolling shutter detectors on determining the velocity of meteors from video recordings

Lukáš Shrbený, Jiří Borovička, Pavel Spurný +2

Modern video cameras use either global or rolling shutter to create individual video frames. In case of global shutter, the whole frames are exposed and read out at the same time.…

Eta-Virginids: another asteroidal meteoroid stream

Jiri Borovicka, Pavel Spurny, Pavel Koten +5

Eta-Virginids is a less-known meteor shower active in March. We investigated the meteoroids of this shower using fireball data from the European Fireball Network supplemented by vi…

Catastrophic disruption of asteroid 2023 CX1 and implications for planetary defense

Auriane Egal, Denis Vida, François Colas +94

Mitigation of the threat from airbursting asteroids requires an understanding of the potential risk they pose for the ground. How asteroids release their kinetic energy in the atmo…

The structure of Cygnid and August Draconid meteoroid streams

J. Borovicka, P. Spurny, L. Kotkova +3

Meteoroid streams can be complex structures shaped by the processes of their formation and subsequent orbital evolution. The first step of their understanding is mapping their curr…

Mechanical strength distribution in Geminid meteoroids derived via fireball modeling

Tomáš Henych, Jiří Borovička, Vlastimil Vojáček +1

Geminids are the most active annual meteor shower observed on Earth. Their parent is an active asteroid, (3200) Phaethon, which is a target of the planned DESTINY+ mission of the J…

Tau-Herculid meteor shower on night 30/31 May, 2022, and properties of the meteoroids

Pavel Koten, Lukáš Shrbený, Pavel Spurný +5

A tau-Herculid meteor outburst or even a storm was predicted by several models to occur around 5~UT on 31~May, 2022 as a consequence of the break-up of comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachma…

Semi-automatic meteoroid fragmentation modeling using genetic algorithms

Tomáš Henych, Jiří Borovička, Pavel Spurný

Meteoroids are pieces of asteroids and comets. They serve as unique probes to the physical and chemical properties of their parent bodies. We can derive some of these properties wh…

Small Near-Earth Asteroids as a Source of Meteorites

Jiří Borovička, Pavel Spurný, Peter Brown

Small asteroids intersecting Earth's orbit can deliver extraterrestrial rocks to the Earth, called meteorites. This process is accompanied by a luminous phenomena in the atmosphere…

Density, porosity and magnetic susceptibility of the Košice meteorite shower and homogeneity of its parent meteoroid

Tomáš Kohout, Karol Havrila, Juraj Tóth +21

Bulk and grain density, porosity, and magnetic susceptibility of 67 individuals of Košice H chondrite fall were measured. The mean bulk and grain densities were determined to be 3.…
