Cross-Validation of Infrasound Detections and Fireball Observations from the Global Fireball Observatory

Iona Clemente, Eleanor K. Sansom, Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix +6

How do infrasound signals from fireballs relate to atmospheric entry conditions and the physical properties of their parents meteoroids? In this study, we investigate the detectabi…

Dynamic Trajectory Analysis of Meteoroids Showing Minimal Deceleration

Thomas Stevenson, Ellie Sansom, Hadrien Devillepoix +8

Meteoroids decelerate and ablate as they descend through the atmosphere, however a portion of instrumentally observed meteors show little measurable deceleration and remain poorly…

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 Near-Earth Object Model Calibrated to Earth Impactors

Sophie E. Deam, Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix, David Nesvorný +16

The population of Earth-impacting meteoroids and its size-dependent orbital elements are key to understanding the origin of meteorites and informing on planetary defence efforts. O…

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…

Multi-parameter constraints on empirical infrasound period-yield relations for bolides and implications for planetary defense

Elizabeth A. Silber, Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez, Iyare Oseghae +18

How effective are methods for estimating bolide energies from infrasound signal period-yield relationships? A single global period-energy relation can obscure significant variabili…

Sun Close-Encounter Model of Long-Period Comet and Meteoroid Orbit Stochastic Evolution

Stuart Pilorz, Peter Jenniskens

The dynamical evolution of long-period comets (LPCs) and their meteoroid streams is usually described with the Sun as the primary body, but over most of their orbits the Solar Syst…

Orbit, meteoroid size, and cosmic ray exposure history of the Aguas Zarcas CM2 breccia

Peter Jenniskens, Gerardo J. Soto, Gabriel Goncalves Silva +21

The Aguas Zarcas (Costa Rica) CM2 carbonaceous chondrite fell during night time in April 2019. Security and dashboard camera video of the meteor were analyzed to provide a trajecto…

How Meteor Showers Can Guide the Search for Long Period Comets

Samantha Hemmelgarn, Nicholas Moskovitz, Stuart Pilorz +1

With orbital periods longer than 200 years, most long-period comets (LPCs) remain undiscovered until they are in-bound towards perihelion. The comets that pass close to Earth's orb…

Properties of outer solar system pebbles during planetesimal formation from meteor observations

Peter Jenniskens, Paul R. Estrada, Stuart Pilorz +42

In the late stages of accretion leading up to the formation of planetesimals, particles grew to pebbles the size of 1-mm to tens of cm. That is the same size range that dominates t…

Aperture photometry on asteroid trails: detection of the fastest rotating near-Earth object

Maxime Devogèle, Luca Buzzi, Marco Micheli +9

Context. Near-Earth objects (NEOs) on an impact course with Earth can move at high angular speed. Understanding their properties, including rotation state, is crucial for assessing…
