The IAU Meteor Data Center in Lund has acted as a central depository for meteor orbits obtained by photographic, video and
radar techniques. The database of precisely reduced photographic meteors contains data on 4581 meteor orbits obtained by 17
different stations or groups in the period 1936–1996. The orbital and geophysical data are available in two separate files
as well as in an alternative file with the merged data. In various studies of meteoroid streams as well as in studies of the
sporadic meteor background, it is often necessary to utilize both the orbital and the geophysical data files. Since the database
is a compilation of partial, not perfectly compatible catalogues from many observing stations, the merging of parameters from
one data set to another may sometimes present problems. The present contribution is a note on some problems encountered in
the merging procedure. Moreover, it is evident that the database includes a small amount of erroneous data – either in the
observations or in the subsequent data reductions. The latter error is not surprising in view of the lack of modern computers
at several stations in the past. A final, corrected version of the IAU MDC Lund photographic meteor orbits (eq. 2000.0) can
now be requested through the homepage of the Astronomical Institute, Slovak Academy of Sciences (http://www.astro.sk/~ne/IAUMDC/Ph2003/database.html). 相似文献

A digital image intensified CCD camera with an electronically gated image intensifier was used to produce very short duration
images of meteors. The observational system employed a 0.40 m F/4.5 Newtonian telescope to obtain high spatial resolution.
A second intensified CCD camera was used to yield height information using parallax. At a typical meteor height one pixel
(for the vertically oriented system) corresponded to about 1.1 m. A sampling of 59 mainly sporadic meteors was analyzed. There
is clear variability from meteor to meteor, with many meteors (nearly 50%) showing only a small amount of wake, while some
meteors (approximately 20%) have the off segments completely filled in. 相似文献

The successful application of modern observing techniques for Leonid storm observations show that meteor (shower) detections will have a bright future if the field will pursue difficult but important questions. How to forecast a satellite threatening meteor storm? What happens to the organic matter in meteors and can this be an important source of prebiotic molecules? What range of variations in composition and morphology exists among cometary grains and what does this tell us about the origin of the solar system? What long-period comets approach Earth orbit and can meteoroid streams provide early warning for giant impacts? What are the sources of interstellar and interplanetary grains? Just to mention a few. To answer these questions will need new technologies and facilities, some of which are being developed for other use. This may include NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared and sub-millimeter Astronomy (SOFIA). In addition, big-science space missions can drive the field if meteor detections are an integral part. Special events, such as meteor outbursts and the “artificial meteor” from the reentry of sample return capsules from interplanetary space, can mobilize observing and theoretical efforts. These and other future opportunities are briefly discussed. 相似文献

In order to enhance our understanding of the possible influence of meteor ablation on the enrichment in OH and O2 of the lower thermosphere we studied intense Leonid meteor activity by using the SATI (Spectral Airglow Temperature Imager) interferometer of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía. We measured the emission rate and rotational temperature of OH and O2 airglow emission layers during two observation periods of high meteoric activity: the 1998 Leonid outburst and the 2002 Leonid storm. The results show that there is not a clear relation of O2 and OH airglow emission and rotational temperature with meteoric activity. 相似文献

We present observations and preliminary results from a meteor experiment carried out with the 224 MHz EISCAT VHF radar in Tromsø, Norway, which was run for 6 h on November 26, 2003. The data set contains echoes with peculiar pulsations in received power in the frequency range 20–200 Hz, limited by instrumental parameters. The process causing the echo power pulsations has not yet been identified. Plasma effects are the most likely cause, a possible mechanism is for instance asymmetrical dust grains in rotation causing a modulation of the ionization rate. 相似文献

Several Leonid fireballs were successfully photographed by the Japanese Fireball Network and by other observers in Japan on
16 November, 1996. A totals of seven of these were simultaneously observed from two or more stations, from which the orbital
and physical data were deduced. The radiant of these fireballs were very small, only 0.1°, similar to that of the 1991 Perseids.
The 1996 Leonids showed a lower magnitude distribution index similar to those obtained in the 1961 and 1965 Leonids. All of
these showers occurred before perihelion passage of the parent comet. We conclude that we have already encountered the elongated
front part of the dust trail of the Leonid parent comet, where the trail is probably composed of larger dust particles.
This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

Both amateur and professional meteor groups are more frequently using Low-Light level TV (LLTV) systems to record meteors.
Double-station observations can yield orbit data. However, data analysis normally is still done by hand and thus time consuming.
This paper addresses the question of whether available automated tools can be used to determine reasonably accurate orbits
with minimum human intervention. The European Space Agency performed several observing campaigns to observe the Leonid meteor
stream. In November 1999, the ESA meteor group was stationed at two locations in Southern Spain, in November 2001 at two stations
close to Broome in North-Western Australia. Double-station observations with LLTV systems were conducted. The data was recorded
on S-VHS video tapes. The tapes were processed using automatic detection software from which meteor heights, velocities and
radiants were computed. This paper shows the results for the two maximum nights. The radiants determined in 1999 show a very
large scatter due to unfortunate observing geometry and inaccurate position determination since one of the cameras was moving
because of the wind. The 2001 data is excellent and the radiant was determined to be at RA = 153.96°±0.3° and Dec = 21.09°±0.2°.
The error bars for individual meteor radiants are about 0.2° to 0.4°. This demonstrates that is indeed possible to determine
good radiant positions using totally automated tools. Orbits, on the other hand, are not well defined due to the fact that
the velocity of individual meteors shows large errors. Reasons for this are described. 相似文献

We have carried out a simultaneous observation of radar and optical meteors with the MU radar (Middle and Upper Atmosphere Radar), Shigaraki and TV camera systems. We usually obtained about 20 meteors per an hour with 85 mm lens, but very small part of them are simultaneously observed by the MU radar (< 5%), suggesting the significance of rectangular scatterring. We have analyzed about 20 simultaneous meteors with magnitudes from 0 to +5.5, most of which are overdense meteors. For Geminid meteors, a linear relation between the logarithm of the echo duration and the absolute magnitude of the TV meteor, was deduced. 相似文献

The calculation of theoretical meteor radiants is discussed for comets and asteroids whose orbits pass within, but at present do not necessarily intersect, that of the Earth, in particular from the perspective of developing a suitable method for application to Taurid Complex orbits. The main question addressed here is how to allow for dynamical evolution between epochs when an orbit isnot Earth-intersecting (as at present in most cases for macroscopic bodies) and those when itis (i.e., when meteors can actually be observed). This should be understood in terms of evolution in the past, such that meteoroids released some time ago have evolved differentially from the putative parents, allowing meteors to be detected now. Theoretical radiants for macroscopic Taurid objects are then presented and compared with observations of the nighttime and daytime Taurid meteor showers. These are found to be broadly similar in form, given the sparsity of some of the data, adding weight to the hypothesis that this sub-jovian complex contains kilometre-plus asteroids. A similar conclusion results for the group of objects in similar orbits to (2212) Hephaistos. 相似文献
