Alonso Azcárate, Jacinto; Madiedo Gil, José María UHU Authority

; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Zamorano, J.; Izquierdo Gómez, Jaime; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Ocaña Gónzalez, Francisco; Sánchez de Miguel, A.; Lacruz, J.; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (2013)

A superbolide was observed on July 21, 2012 over the center and south of Spain. The event was recorded in the framework of our continuous fireball monitoring and spectroscopic campaigns. Besides, because of optimal ...

Analisys of a superbolide from a domocloid observed over Spain on 2012 July 13

Madiedo Gil, José María UHU Authority

; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Zamorano, J.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Sánchez de Miguel, A.; Ocaña Gónzalez, Francisco; Izquierdo Gómez, Jaime; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Morales, Nicolás; Galadí, D.; Guindos, E. de; Lacruz, J.; Organero, F.; Ana Hernández, Leonor; Fonseca, F.; Tapia, Mar; Gallego, Felipe; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (Oxford University Press, 2013)

A superbolide with an estimated absolute magnitude of−20±1was seen on 2012 July 13 over the centre and south of Spain. This extraordinary event, which was witnessed by numerous casual observers, was recorded in the ...

Orbit, emission spectrum, and photometric analysis of two flickering sporadic fireballs

Madiedo Gil, José María UHU Authority

; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Konovalova, N.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Alonso Azcárate, Jacinto; Lacruz, J.; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (EDP Sciences, 2013)

We present the observations of two fireballs that exhibit fast and quasi-periodic brightness variations along their atmospheric path. This phenomenon, which is known as “flickering”, is associated to the entry of spinning ...

Linking a fireball to its likely parent near earth object by means of orbital analysis software tools

Alonso, C.; Madiedo Gil, José María UHU Authority

; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Pastor, S.; Reyes, J. A. de los (2013)

The identification of their progenitor bodies is crucial to increase our knowledge on the origin and evolution of meteoroid streams. Traditionally, the similarity between two orbits has been used to link a given meteoroid ...

Emission spectrum and orbital elements of a sporadic fireball imaged in 2011

Marín, D.; Madiedo Gil, José María UHU Authority

; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Pastor, S.; Reyes, J. A. de los (2013)

The characterisation of physical and chemical properties of meteoroids can be performed from the analysis of meteor and fireball events. This provides useful information about the origin and evolution of meteoroid ...

The 2011 October Draconids outburst – I. Orbital elements, meteoroid fluxes and 21P/Giacobini–Zinner delivered mass to Earth

Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Madiedo Gil, José María UHU Authority

; Williams, I. P.; Dergham, J.; Cortés, J.; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Zamorano, J.; Ocaña Gónzalez, Francisco; Izquierdo Gómez, Jaime; Sánchez de Miguel, A.; Alonso Azcárate, Jacinto; Rodríguez, Diego; Tapia, Mar; Pujols, P.; Lacruz, J.; Pruneda, Francesc; Oliva, Armand; Pastor Erades, Juan; Marín, Antonio Francisco (Oxford University Press, 2013)

On 2011 October 8, the Earth crossed the dust trails left by comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner during its 19th and 20th century perihelion approaches with the comet being close to perihelion. The geometric circumstances of that ...

Large meteoroids from the 2P/Encke complex : orbital data of 2010 taurids recorded in the framework of the Spanish fireball network

Dergham, J.; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Cortés, J.; Alonso Azcárate, Jacinto; Pujols, P.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Madiedo Gil, José María UHU Authority

; Montanyà, J.; Velde, O. van der (2012)

Cometary disruptions are though to be an important source of Near Earth Objects (heareafter NEOs). A continuous monitoring of meteor showers from multistation networks on the ground allows to get valuable orbital ...

Development and continuous spectroscopi campaign in the framework of the Spanish meteor network

Salas, I.; Madiedo Gil, José María UHU Authority

; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (2013)

One of the aims of the SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN) is the study of the chemical composition of meteoroids from the analysis of the emission spectrum produced when these particles ablate in the atmosphere. Besides, ...

A fireball produced by a meteoroid following a retrograde orbit

Álvarez, G.; Madiedo Gil, José María UHU Authority

; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (2013)

One of the systems employed by the SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN) to perform a continuous monitoring of meteor and fireball activity is based on high-sensitivity CCD video cameras. These devices have been commonly used ...

A 2010 superbolide produced by a meteoroid from a short period comet

Cruz, J.; Madiedo Gil, José María UHU Authority

; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María (2013)

In 2009 our team established a me- teor observing station in the Sierra Nevada Astronomi- cal Observatory (Granada, Spain), with the aim to monitor meteor and fireball activity over the south of the Iberian Peninsula ...
