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…

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…

Developing a Cost-Effective Radiometer for Fireball Light Curves

Stuart R. G. Buchan, Robert M. Howie, Jonathan Paxman +1

Fireball light curves can give insight into the meteor ablation process which can be used to improve fireball trajectory and mass modelling. To this aim, the Desert Fireball Networ…

Follow up of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart by Australian-led observing programs

I. Andreoni, K. Ackley, J. Cooke +122

The discovery of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave signal has generated follow-up observations by over 50 facilities world-wide, ushering in the new era…
