DOI: 10.1016/j.pss.2020.104981

Abstract: Abstract The SKYiMET meteor radar is capable of measuring the height distribution of ionized meteor trails. Observations of the Sodankyla radar (67°N, 23°E) in 2008–2019 are analyzed. A method is applied, based on the median… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019ea000570

Abstract: There are few observational techniques for measuring the distribution of kinetic energy within the mesosphere with a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This study describes a method for estimating the three‐dimensional mesospheric wind… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1538-3873/ad8597

Abstract: Meteors are important phenomena reflecting many properties of interplanetary dust particles. The study of their origin, mass distribution, and orbit evolution requires a large data volume, which can only be obtained using large meteor networks.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa3487

Abstract: The iron oxide ‘orange arc’ bands are unambiguously detected in persistent meteor trains, meteor wakes, and clouds, as well as in the terrestrial airglow. In contrast to the majority of other astronomically important diatomic molecules,… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae1066

Abstract: This paper investigates the directional distribution of extraterrestrial objects (meteors, fireballs, and craters) impacting Earth’s surface, and introduces a novel directional statistical mixture model to analyze their falls, validated through rigorous testing. First, we address… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae2698

Abstract: Measurement errors of meteors can substantially affect the accuracy of meteoroid trajectory and orbit determinations, potentially leading to spurious meteoroid orbits. Here, we evaluate the measurement errors associated with the meteor and ionospheric irregularity observation… read more here.
