DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2021.114469
Abstract: Abstract What long-period comets with orbital periods >250 years cause detectable meteor showers on Earth? Low-light video cameras are used to track the motion of +4 to −5 magnitude meteors in our atmosphere by triangulation and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pss.2018.04.018
Abstract: Small bodies in the solar system are conventionally classified into asteroids and comets. However, it is recently found that a small number of objects can exhibit properties of both asteroids and comets. Some are more… read more here.

DOI: 10.1134/s1063780x20100074
Abstract: Plasma–dust processes in the Earth’s ionosphere related to transit of meteor bodies and spreading of meteor trail are analyzed. Processes that occur in the meteor trail itself and those taking place in the Earth’s atmosphere… read more here.
