Twin Impact Lunar Telescope network: Lunar Impact Flash observations of the 2025 Geminids
Daniel Sheward, Marco Delbo, Chrysa Avdellidou +23
Meteoroid impacts on the Moon, observed from Earth as flashes typically lasting a few tens of milliseconds, have been monitored for three decades for determining meteoroids' size a…
Orbit dissimilarity criteria in meteor showers: a comparative review
Ariane Courtot, Patrick Shober, Jérémie Vaubaillon
In meteor science, the identification of meteor showers is a crucial and complex problem. The most common method is to perform a systematic search of a database of observed orbits…
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…
Perihelion history and atmospheric survival as primary drivers of the Earth`s meteorite record
Patrick M. Shober, Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix, Jeremie Vaubaillon +7
Models predict that more than half of all impacting meteoroids should be carbonaceous, reflecting the abundance of carbon-rich asteroids in the main belt and near-Earth space. Yet…
Near Earth stream decoherence revisited: the limits of orbital similarity
Patrick M. Shober, Ariane Courtot, Jeremie Vaubaillon
Context. Orbital similarity measures, such as the D-values, have been extensively used in meteor science to identify meteoroid streams and associate meteorite falls with near-Earth…
