Model Predictions for the 2025 October Draconid Outburst

Auriane Egal, Paul Wiegert, Danielle E. Moser +2

The October Draconid meteor shower, produced by comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, is notorious for rare but intense outbursts, some exceeding rates of about 10 000 meteors per hour. In 2…

Telescope-to-Fireball Characterization of Earth Impactor 2022 WJ1

Theodore Kareta, Denis Vida, Marco Micheli +10

Comparing how an asteroid appears in space to its ablation behavior during atmospheric passage and finally to the properties of associated meteorites represents the ultimate probe…

A reference meteor magnitude for intercomparable fluxes

Althea V. Moorhead, Denis Vida, Peter G. Brown +1

The rate at which meteors pass through Earth's atmosphere has been measured or estimated many times over; existing flux measurements span at least 12 astronomical magnitudes, or ro…

The Golden Meteorite Fall: Fireball Trajectory, Orbit and Meteorite Characterization

P. G. Brown, P. J. A. McCausland, A. R Hildebrand +26

The Golden (British Columbia, Canada) meteorite fall occurred on Oct 4, 2021 at 0534 UT with the first recovered fragment (1.3 kg) landing on an occupied bed. The meteorite is an u…

On the Proposed Interstellar Origin of the USG 20140108 Fireball

Peter G. Brown, Jiří Borovička

A critical review of the evidence for the interstellar origin for the USG 20140108 fireball is presented. Examining USG fireball velocities where independent data are available sho…

Modelling the 2022 τ-Herculid outburst

Auriane Egal, Paul A. Wiegert, Peter G. Brown +1

The -Herculids (IAU shower number #61 TAH) is a minor meteor shower associated with comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3, a Jupiter-Family comet that disintegrated into several frag…

Direct measurement of decimeter-sized rocky material in the Oort cloud

Denis Vida, Peter G. Brown, Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix +10

The Oort cloud is thought to be a reservoir of icy planetesimals and the source of long-period comets (LPCs) implanted from the outer Solar System during the time of giant planet f…

Characterizing the Daytime Sextantids Meteor Shower and Unveiling the Nature of the Phaethon-Geminid Stream Complex

Y. Kipreos, Margaret Campbell-Brown, P. Brown +1

The Daytime Sextantids meteor shower, part of the Phaethon-Geminid Stream Complex (PGC), is closely related to the Geminids, currently the strongest meteor shower visible at the Ea…

A Proposed Alternative Dynamical History for 2P/Encke which Explains the Taurid Meteoroid Complex

A. Egal, P. Wiegert, P. G. Brown

The Taurid Meteoroid Complex (TMC) is a broad stream of meteoroids that produces several annual meteor showers on Earth. If the linkage between these showers and 2P/Encke is at the…

Computing optical meteor flux using Global Meteor Network data

Denis Vida, Rhiannon C. Blaauw Erskine, Peter G. Brown +3

Meteor showers and their outbursts are the dominant source of meteoroid impact risk to spacecraft on short time scales. Meteor shower prediction models depend on historical observa…
