A dynamical analysis of the Taurid Complex: evidence for past orbital convergences
A. Egal, P. Wiegert, P. G. Brown +3
The goal of this work is to determine if the dynamics of individual Taurid Complex (TC) objects are consistent with the formation of the complex via fragmentation of a larger body,…
Fireball characteristics derivable from acoustic data
Luke McFadden, Peter Brown, Denis Vida +1
Near field acoustical signals from fireballs (ranges<200 km), when detected by dense ground networks, may be used to estimate the orientation of the trajectory of a fireball (Pujol…
Trajectory and orbit of the unique carbonaceous meteorite Flensburg
Jiří Borovička, Felix Bettonvil, Gerd Baumgarten +4
The C1-ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite Flensburg fell in Germany on September 12, 2019, in the daytime. We determined the atmospheric trajectory, velocity, and heliocentric orbit…
Two Strengths of Ordinary Chondritic Meteoroids as Derived from their Atmospheric Fragmentation Modeling
Jiří Borovička, Pavel Spurný, Lukáš Shrbený
The internal structure and strength of small asteroids and large meteoroids is poorly known. Observation of bright fireballs in the Earth's atmosphere can prospect meteoroid struct…
The Žďár nad Sázavou meteorite fall: Fireball trajectory, photometry, dynamics, fragmentation, orbit, and meteorite recovery
Pavel Spurný, Jiří Borovička, Lukáš Shrbený
We report a comprehensive analysis of the instrumentally observed meteorite fall Žďár nad Sázavou, which occurred in the Czech Republic on 9 December 2014 at 16:16:45-54 UT. The or…
The January 7, 2015, superbolide over Romania and structural diversity of meter-sized asteroids
Jiří Borovička, Pavel Spurný, Valentin I. Grigore +1
Superbolides, i.e. extremely bright meteors produced by entries of meter-sized bodies into terrestrial atmosphere, are rare events. We present here detailed analysis of a superboli…
Impact detections of temporarily captured natural satellites
David L. Clark, Pavel Spurný, Paul Wiegert +4
Temporarily Captured Orbiters (TCOs) are Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) which make a few orbits of Earth before returning to heliocentric orbits. Only one TCO has been observed to date,…
Small Near-Earth Asteroids as a Source of Meteorites
Jiří Borovička, Pavel Spurný, Peter Brown
Small asteroids intersecting Earth's orbit can deliver extraterrestrial rocks to the Earth, called meteorites. This process is accompanied by a luminous phenomena in the atmosphere…
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.…
Photographic Observations of the Hayabusa Re-entry
Jiří Borovička, Shinsuke Abe, Lukáš Shrbený +2
We analyzed photographic observations of the re-entry of the Hayabusa spacecraft and capsule over Southern Australia on June 13, 2010, 13:52 UT. Radiometric measurements of the bri…
