Systematic non-compliance of satellite megaconstellations with IAU brightness limits

Jack Rayworth, Denis Vida, Pauline Barmby +7

Satellite megaconstellations in low Earth orbit interfere with ground-based optical astronomy, but the scale of that interference has been hard to measure. Here we report an uncued…

From Earth Meteors to Mars: Predicting Where to See the First Martian Meteors

Maximilian Vovk, Peter G. Brown, Denis Vida

Predictions of optical meteors at Mars have largely relied on classical single-body ablation models, despite high-resolution terrestrial observations showing that mm-sized meteoroi…

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…

A Search for Hydroacoustic Signals from Bolides

P. Brown, L. McFadden, D. McCormack +2

Here we present a survey aimed at detecting hydroacoustic signals from fireballs using the six hydrophone stations operated as part of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organisatio…

Meteor statistics I: The distribution of instrumental magnitudes

Althea V. Moorhead, Peter G. Brown, Margaret D. Campbell-Brown +2

The distribution of meteor magnitudes is known to follow an exponential distribution, where the base of this distribution is called the population index. The distribution of observ…

Inferring Meteoroid Properties with Dynamic Nested Sampling: A Case Study of Orionid and Capricornid Shower Meteors

Maximilian Vovk, Peter G. Brown, Denis Vida +2

Accurate estimation of meteoroid bulk density is crucial for assessing spacecraft impact hazards from sub-millimeter to millimeter-sized meteoroids. Previous studies often used man…
