(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 ...

(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

Orbit, emission spectrum, and photometric analysis of two flickering sporadic fireballs
(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 ...
The 2011 October Draconids outburst – I. Orbital elements, meteoroid fluxes and 21P/Giacobini–Zinner delivered mass to Earth
(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 ...
A superbolide recorded over Spain on July 13, 2012
(2013)
One of the aims of the SPanish Meteor
Network (SPMN) is the recovery and analysis of
meteorites. So, we focus special attention on very
bright fireballs, as under appropriate conditions these
unusual events may give ...
