A Cloud-Based Tool for Meteorite Recovery Using Drones and Machine Learning
Seamus L. Anderson, Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix, Lewis Lakerink +30
We present a cloud-based tool that uses drones and machine learning to help recover instrumentally observed meteorite falls. We showcase a collection of improvements made upon prev…
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…
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…
A limit on the mass of the Taurid Resonant Swarm at sub-100 meter sizes
Paul Wiegert, Denis Vida, David L. Clark +3
We report on a pencil-beam survey of the Taurid Swarm, a possible concentration of bodies in the Taurid meteoroid stream associated with the 7:2 mean-motion resonance with Jupiter.…
