Identification of a Minimoon Fireball
P. M. Shober, T. Jansen-Sturgeon, E. K. Sansom +6
Objects gravitationally captured by the Earth-Moon system are commonly called temporarily captured orbiters (TCOs), natural Earth satellites, or minimoons. TCOs are a crucially imp…
Where Did They Come From, Where Did They Go. Grazing Fireballs
P. M. Shober, T. Jansen-Sturgeon, E. K. Sansom +6
For centuries extremely-long grazing fireball displays have fascinated observers and inspired people to ponder about their origins. The Desert Fireball Network (DFN) is the largest…
A Dynamic Trajectory Fit to Multi-Sensor Fireball Observations
Trent Jansen-Sturgeon, Eleanor K. Sansom, Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix +4
Meteorites with known orbital origins are key to our understanding of Solar System formation and the source of life on Earth. However, these pristine samples of space material are…
Recreating the OSIRIS-REx Slingshot Manoeuvre from a Network of Ground-Based Sensors
Trent Jansen-Sturgeon, Benjamin A. D. Hartig, Gregory J. Madsen +20
Optical tracking systems typically trade-off between astrometric precision and field-of-view. In this work, we showcase a networked approach to optical tracking using very wide fie…
Fireball streak detection with minimal CPU processing requirements for the Desert Fireball Network data processing pipeline
Martin C. Towner, Martin Cupak, Robert M. Howie +6
The detection of fireballs streaks in astronomical imagery can be carried out by a variety of methods. The Desert Fireball Network--DFN--uses a network of cameras to track and tria…
Determining fireball fates using the - criterion
Eleanor K. Sansom, Maria Gritsevich, Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix +7
As fireball networks grow, the number of events observed becomes unfeasible to manage by manual efforts. Reducing and analysing big data requires automated data pipelines. Triangul…
