  • Meteor Showers' Activity and Forecasting
    Meteoroids 2007 – Barcelona, June 11-15 About the cover: The recent fall of the Villalbeto de la Peña meteorite on January 4, 2004 (Spain) is one of the best documented in history for which atmospheric and orbital trajectory, strewn field area, and recovery circumstances have been described in detail. Photometric and seismic measurements together with radioisotopic analysis of several recovered specimens suggest an original mass of about 760 kg. About fifty specimens were recovered from a strewn field of nearly 100 km2. Villalbeto de la Peña is a moderately shocked (S4) equilibrated ordinary chondrite (L6) with a cosmic-ray-exposure age of 48±5 Ma. The chemistry and mineralogy of this genuine meteorite has been characterized in detail by bulk chemical analysis, electron microprobe, electron microscopy, magnetism, porosimetry, X-ray diffraction, infrared, Raman, and 57Mössbauer spectroscopies. The picture of the fireball was taken by M.M. Ruiz and was awarded by the contest organized by the Spanish Fireball Network (SPMN) for the best photograph of the event. The Moon is also visible for comparison. The picture of the meteorite was taken as it was found by the SPMN recovery team few days after the fall. 2 Meteoroids 2007 – Barcelona, June 11-15 FINAL PROGRAM Monday, June 11 Auditorium conference room 9h00-9h50 Reception 9h50-10h00 Opening event Session 1: Observational Techniques and Meteor Detection Programs Morning session Session chairs: J.

Montmerle, ed. doi:10.1017/S1743921314005079 Analysis of Historical Meteor and Meteor shower Records: Korea, China and Japan Hong-Jin Yang1, Changbom Park2 and Myeong-Gu Park3 1 Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, Korea email: [email protected] 2 Korea Institute for Advanced Study, Korea 3 Kyungpook National University, Korea Abstract. We have compiled and analyzed historical meter and meteor shower records in Ko- rean, Chinese, and Japanese chronicles. We have confirmed the peaks of Perseids and an excess due to the mixture of Orionids, north-Taurids, or Leonids through the Monte-Carlo test from the Korean records. The peaks persist for almostonethousandyears.Wehavealsoanalyzed seasonal variation of sporadic meteors from Korean records. Major features in Chinese meteor shower records are quite consistent with those of Korean records, particularly for the last millen- nium. Japanese records also show Perseids feature and Orionids/north-Taurids/Leonids feature, although they are less prominent compared to those of Korean or Chinese records. Keywords. meteors, meteor showers, historical records We have compiled and analyzed the meteor and meteor shower records in official Korean history books (Kim et al. 1145; Kim et al. 1451; Chunchugwan 1392-1863) dating from 57 B.C. to A.D. 1910, covering the Three Kingdoms period (from 57 B.C. to A.D. 918), Goryeo dynasty (from A.D. 918 to A.D. 1392), and Joseon dynasty (from A.D. 1392 to A.D. 1910). The books contain only a small number of meteor shower records in contrast to abundant meteor records.

  • Spectra and Physical Properties of Taurid Meteoroids
    Spectra and physical properties of Taurid meteoroids Pavol Matloviˇca, Juraj T´otha, Regina Rudawskab, Leonard Kornoˇsa aFaculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia bESA European Space Research and Technology Centre, Noordwijk, Netherlands Abstract Taurids are an extensive stream of particles produced by comet 2P/Encke, which can be observed mainly in October and November as a series of me- teor showers rich in bright fireballs. Several near-Earth asteroids have also been linked with the meteoroid complex, and recently the orbits of two car- bonaceous meteorites were proposed to be related to the stream, raising interesting questions about the origin of the complex and the composition of 2P/Encke. Our aim is to investigate the nature and diversity of Taurid mete- oroids by studying their spectral, orbital, and physical properties determined from video meteor observations. Here we analyze 33 Taurid meteor spectra captured during the predicted outburst in November 2015 by stations in Slo- vakia and Chile, including 14 multi-station observations for which the orbital elements, material strength parameters, dynamic pressures, and mineralog- ical densities were determined. It was found that while orbits of the 2015 Taurids show similarities with several associated asteroids, the obtained spec- tral and physical characteristics point towards cometary origin with highly heterogeneous content. Observed spectra exhibited large dispersion of iron content and significant Na intensity in all cases. The determined material strengths are typically cometary in the KB classification, while PE criterion is on average close to values characteristic for carbonaceous bodies. The studied meteoroids were found to break up under low dynamic pressures of 0.02 - 0.10 MPa, and were characterized by low mineralogical densities of 1.3 arXiv:1704.06482v1 [astro-ph.EP] 21 Apr 2017 - 2.5 g cm-3.

More than 40 percent of the earth's known meteorites have been recovered at the terminus of the fireball's flight. Such meteorites are known as "falls" as distinguished from "finds," which are old meteorites recovered from the earth's crust and not seen falling. To date only two falls have been noted in the entire Pacific North­ west. The more recent occurred on Sunday morning, July 2, 1939, when a spectacular fireball or meteor passed over Portland just before 8:00 a.m. Somewhat to the east of Portland the meteor exploded, causing many people to awaken from their Sunday morning slumbers as buildings shook, and dishes and windows rattled. No damage was reported. Several climbers on Mount Hood and Mount Adams reported seei ng the unusual event.

  • Craters and Airbursts
    Craters and Airbursts • Most asteroids and comets fragments explode in the air as fireballs or airbursts; only the largest ones make craters. • Evidence indicates that the YDB impact into the Canadian ice sheet made ice-walled craters that melted away long ago. • The YDB impact also possibly created rocky craters, most likely along the edge of the ice sheet in Canada or underwater in the oceans. • Our group is planning expeditions to search for impact evidence and hidden craters, for example to North Dakota, Montana, Quebec, and Nova Scotia.

Korea. b Department of Astronomy and Atmospheric Sciences, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 702-701, S. Korea. c School of Physics, Korea Institute for Advanced Study, Seoul 130-722, S. Korea. Received 28 Feb. 2004, accepted 21 Oct. 2004 by Icarus ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract We have compiled and analyzed historical Korean meteor and meteor shower records in three Korean official history books, Samguksagi which covers the three Kingdoms period (57 B.C~A.D. 935), Goryeosa of Goryeo dynasty (A.D. 918~1392), and Joseonwangjosillok of Joseon dynasty (A.D. 1392~1910). We have found 3861 meteor and 31 meteor shower records. We have confirmed the peaks of Perseids and an excess due to the mixture of Orionids, north-Taurids, or Leonids through the Monte-Carlo test. The peaks persist from the period of Goryeo dynasty to that of Joseon dynasty, for almost one thousand years. Korean records show a decrease of Perseids activity and an increase of Orionids/north-Taurids/Leonids activity. We have also analyzed seasonal variation of sporadic meteors from Korean records. We confirm the seasonal variation of sporadic meteors from the records of Joseon dynasty with the maximum number of events being roughly 1.7 times the minimum. The Korean records are compared with Chinese and Japanese records for the same periods. Major features in Chinese meteor shower records are quite consistent with those of Korean records, particularly for the last millennium.

Institute of Astrophysics, Tajik Academy of Sciences, Dushanbe 734042, Tajikistan and Isaac Newton Institute of Chile, Tajikistan Branch Received 26 December 2000 / Accepted 20 March 2001 Abstract. Observed meteor showers associated with some Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) is one of the few criteria that such asteroids may be considered to be candidate extinct cometary nuclei. In order to reveal new NEA- meteor shower associations, we calculated the secular variations of the orbital elements of 17 Taurid Complex asteroids with allowance for perturbations from six planets (Mercury-Saturn) over one cycle of variation of perihelia arguments. The Earth-crossing class of these NEAs and theoretical geocentric radiants and velocities of their meteor showers were determined and compared with available observational data. It turns out that each Taurid Complex asteroid is associated with four meteor showers. This is evidence for the cometary origin of these asteroids.
