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…

A Statistical Approach to Quantifying Uncertainty in Meteoroid Physical Properties

Maximilian Vovk, Denis Vida, Peter G. Brown

Meteoroid bulk density is a critical value required for assessing impact risks to spacecraft, informing shielding and mission design. Direct bulk density measurements for sub-milli…

An Upper Limit on the Interstellar Meteoroid Flux at Video Sizes from the Global Meteor Network

Paul Wiegert, Vanessa Tran, Cole Gregg +2

Material arriving at our solar system from the Galaxy may be detected at Earth in the form of meteors ablating in our atmosphere. Here we report on a search for interstellar meteor…

CAMO-S: A meteor-tracking spectrograph at the Canadian Automated Meteor Observatory

Michael Mazur, Margaret Campbell-Brown, Peter Brown +3

The Canadian Automated Meteor Observatory (CAMO) mirror tracking system has been in operation since 2009 and has, to date, produced more than 20,000 two-station meteor observations…

A Comparison of Fireball Luminous Efficiency Models using Acoustic Records

Luke McFadden, Peter Brown, Denis Vida

The total energy of a fireball is commonly obtained from optical measurements with an assumed value for luminous efficiency. Acoustic energy measurements offer an independent means…

Quantifying the Bulk Density of Southern Delta Aquariid Meteoroids: Insights from the Canadian Automated Meteor Observatory

Arazi Pinhas, Zbyszek Krzeminski, Denis Vida +1

Physical properties of ten millimeter-sized meteoroids from the Southern Delta Aquariids (SDA) shower are derived using optical observations from the Canadian Automated Meteor Obse…

A Physical Survey of Meteoroid Streams: Comparing Cometary Reservoirs

Nicolas Buccongello, Peter G. Brown, Denis Vida +1

In this work, we present an optical survey of mm-sized meteoroids using the Canadian Automated Meteor Observatory's (CAMO) mirror tracking system. The system tracks meteors to magn…

First holistic modelling of meteoroid ablation and fragmentation: A case study of the Orionids recorded by the Canadian Automated Meteor Observatory

Denis Vida, Peter G. Brown, Margaret Campbell-Brown +1

18 mm-sized Orionid meteoroids were captured in 2019 and 2020 by the Canadian Automated Observatory's mirror tracking system. Meteor position measurements were made to an accuracy…

Meteoroid structure and ablation implications from multiple maxima meteor light curves

I. D. Roberts, R. L. Hawkes, R. J. Weryk +4

The Canadian Automated Meteor Observatory (CAMO) detects occasional meteors with two maxima in the image intensified CCD based light curves. We report early results from an analysi…

An Optical Survey for mm-Sized Interstellar Meteoroids

R. Musci, R. J. Weryk, P. Brown +2

We report high resolution multi-station observations of meteors by the Canadian Automated Meteor Observatory (CAMO) recorded from June 2009 to August 2010. Our survey has a limitin…
