Meteors: Light from Comets and Asteroids
Pavol Matlovič, Juraj Tóth
In studies of the oldest solar system bodies - comets and asteroids - it is their fragments - meteoroids - that provide the most accessible planetary material for detailed laborato…
On the sodium enhancement in spectra of slow meteors and the origin of Na-rich meteoroids
Pavol Matlovič, Juraj Tóth, Leonard Kornoš +1
The detected Na/Mg ratio in a sample of 17 Na-enhanced and Na-rich meteors is investigated based on obtained spectral, orbital and structural data. We utilize the meteor observatio…
Characterization of the June epsilon Ophiuchids meteoroid stream and the comet 300P/Catalina
Pavol Matlovič, Leonard Kornoš, Martina Kováčová +2
Prior to 2019, the June epsilon Ophiuchids (JEO) were known as a minor unconfirmed meteor shower with activity that was considered typically moderate for bright fireballs. An unexp…
Spectral and orbital survey of medium-sized meteoroids
Pavol Matlovič, Juraj Tóth, Regina Rudawska +2
We investigate the spectra, material properties, and orbital distribution of millimeter- to decimeter-sized meteoroids. Our study aims to distinguish the characteristics of populat…
Spectra and physical properties of Taurid meteoroids
Pavol Matlovič, Juraj Tóth, Regina Rudawska +1
Taurids are an extensive stream of particles produced by comet 2P/Encke, which can be observed mainly in October and November as a series of meteor showers rich in bright fireballs…
Density, porosity and magnetic susceptibility of the Košice meteorite shower and homogeneity of its parent meteoroid
Tomáš Kohout, Karol Havrila, Juraj Tóth +21
Bulk and grain density, porosity, and magnetic susceptibility of 67 individuals of Košice H chondrite fall were measured. The mean bulk and grain densities were determined to be 3.…
A comprehensive study of distribution laws for the fragments of Košice meteorite
Maria Gritsevich, Vladimir Vinnikov, Tomáš Kohout +4
In this study, we conduct a detailed analysis of the Košice meteorite fall (February 28, 2010), in order to derive a reliable law describing the mass distribution among the recover…
All-Sky Video Orbits of Lyrids 2009
Juraj Tóth, Leonard Kornoš, Peter Vereš +4
We report observational results of the Lyrid meteor shower observed by the double station all-sky video system in the night of April 21/22, 2009 at the Astronomical and Geophysical…
Analysis of the SonotaCo video meteoroid orbits
Peter Vereš, Juraj Tóth
Since 2007 the Japanese video network provided significant amount of meteor data observed by multi station video meteor network located in Japan. The network detects meteors mostly…
Tidal disruption of NEAs - a case of Příbram
Juraj Tóth, Peter Vereš, Leonard Kornoš
This work studies the dynamical evolution of a possible meteor stream along the orbit of the Příbram meteorite, which originated in the tidal disruption of the putative rubble-pile…
Meteor showers of comet C/1917 F1 Mellish
Peter Vereš, Leonard Kornoš, Juraj Tóth
December Monocerotids and November Orionids are weak but established annual meteor showers active throughout November and December. Analysis of a high quality orbits subset of the…
Search for very close approaching NEAs
Peter Vereš, Leonard Kornoš, Juraj Tóth
A simulation of de-biased population of NEAs is presented. The numerical integration of modeled orbits reveals geometrical conditions of close approaching NEAs to the Earth. The po…
Release of meteoroids from asteroids by Earth's tides
Leonard Kornoš, Juraj Tóth, Peter Vereš
The orbital evolution of particles released from the surface of a rubble-pile body by Earth's tides during flyby within the Roche limit is studied. Test particles initially placed…
