Asteroidal activity amongst meteor datasets: Confirmed new "rock-comet" stream and search for a tidal disruption signature
Patrick M. Shober
Asteroid activity (e.g., thermo-mechanical breakdown, impacts, rotational shedding, tidal disruption, etc.) can inject meteoroids into near-Earth space and leave detectable signatu…
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…
Comparing the data reduction pipelines of FRIPON, DFN, WMPL, and AMOS: Geminids Case Study
P. M. Shober, J. Vaubaillon, S. Anghel +15
Methods. We processed a dataset of 584 Geminid fireballs observed by FRIPON between 2016 and 2023. The single-station astrometric data is converted into the Global Fireball Exchang…
Statistical significance of meteorite-asteroid pairs using geocentric parameters
P. M. Shober
Aims. We will test the statistical significance of meteorite-dropping fireballs and NEA clustering using the DN similarity function based on four geocentric quantities (U, theta, p…
