Taurid stream #628: a reservoir of large cometary impactors

Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix, Peter Jenniskens, Philip A. Bland +9

The Desert Fireball Network observed a significant outburst of fireballs belonging to the Southern Taurid Complex of meteor showers between October 27 and November 17, 2015. At the…

Darkflight estimates of meteorite fall positions: issues and a case study using the Murrili meteorite fall

M. C. Towner, T. Jansen-Sturgeon, M. Cupak +7

Fireball networks are used to recover meteorites, with the context of orbits. Observations from these networks cover the bright flight, where the meteoroid is luminescent, but to r…

The main asteroid belt: the primary source of debris on comet-like orbits

Patrick M. Shober, Eleanor K. Sansom, Phil A. Bland +6

Jupiter family comets contribute a significant amount of debris to near-Earth space. However, telescopic observations of these objects seem to suggest they have short physical life…

Machine Learning for Semi-Automated Meteorite Recovery

Seamus Anderson, Martin Towner, Phil Bland +11

We present a novel methodology for recovering meteorite falls observed and constrained by fireball networks, using drones and machine learning algorithms. This approach uses images…

Using Atmospheric Impact Data to Model Meteoroid Close Encounters

P. M. Shober, T. Jansen-Sturgeon, P. A. Bland +6

Based on telescopic observations of Jupiter-family comets (JFCs), there is predicted to be a paucity of objects at sub-kilometre sizes. However, several bright fireballs and some m…

Murrili meteorite's fall and recovery from Kati Thanda

E. K. Sansom, P. A. Bland, M. C. Towner +9

On the 27th of November 2015, at 10:43:45.526 UTC, a fireball was observed across South Australia by ten Desert Fireball Network observatories lasting 6.1 s. A kg meteoroi…
