@article{10272/10395, year = {2015}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10272/10395}, abstract = {We present the results of our Moon impact flash detection campaigns performed around the maximum activity period of the Perseid meteor shower in 2012 and 2013. Just one flash produced by a Perseid meteoroid was detected in 2012 because of very unfavorable geometric conditions, but 12 flashes were confirmed in 2013. The visual magnitude of the flashes ranged between 6.6 and 9.3. A luminous efficiency of 1.8_10_3 has been estimated for meteoroids from this stream. According to this value, impactor masses would range between 1.9 and 190 g. In addition, we propose a criterion for establishing, from a statistical point of view, the likely origin of impact flashes recorded on the lunar surface.}, publisher = {European Southern Observatory}, keywords = {Impact processes}, keywords = {Impact flash}, keywords = {Moon}, keywords = {Meteoroids}, keywords = {Meteors}, title = {Analysis of Moon impact flashes detected during the 2012 and 2013 Perseids}, doi = {10.1051/0004-6361/201525656}, author = {Madiedo Gil, José María and Ortiz Moreno, José Luis and Organero, F. and Ana Hernández, Leonor and Fonseca, F. and Morales, Nicolás and Cabrera Caño, Jesús}, }
