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 ...
The Geminid meteoroid stream as a potential meteorite dropper: a case study
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
A Geminid fireball with an absolute magnitude of −13 was observed over the south of Spain on 2009 December 15. This extraordinarily bright event (the brightest Geminid ever recorded by our team) was imaged from two meteor ...
Spectroscopy and orbital analysis of bright bolides observed over the Iberian Peninsula from 2010 to 2012
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We present the analysis of the atmospheric trajectory and orbital data of four bright bolides
observed over Spain, one of which is a potential meteorite dropping event. Their absolute
magnitude ranges from −10 to −11. ...
