The Dynamical Origin of Millimetre-Sized Sporadic Meteoroids
Tam Do, Peter Brown, Petr Pokorný
Determining the relative contributions of cometary and asteroidal sources to the sporadic meteoroid population remains a longstanding challenge, particularly because commonly used…
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 Potential Danger to Satellites due to Ejecta from a 2032 Lunar Impact by Asteroid 2024 YR4
Paul Wiegert, Peter Brown, Jack Lopes +1
On 2032 December 22 the 60 m diameter asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 4% chance of impacting the Moon. Such an impact would release 6.5 MT TNT equivalent energy and produce a ~1 km diamete…
Orbital and Physical Characteristics of Meter-scale Impactors from Airburst Observations
P. Brown, P. Wiegert, D. Clark +1
We have analysed the orbits and ablation characteristics in the atmosphere of 59 earth-impacting fireballs, produced by meteoroids one meter in diameter or larger, described here a…
