An Earth-grazing fireball from the Daytime ζ -Perseid shower observed over Spain on 2012 June 10
Madiedo Gil, José María
; Espartero, F.; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Pastor, S.; Reyes, J. A. de los (Royal Astronomical Society, 2016)
On 2012 June 10, an Earth-grazer meteor which lasted over 17 s with an absolute magnitude of -4.0 ± 0.5 was observed over Spain. This work focuses on the analysis of this rare event which is, to our knowledge, the faintest ... -
Emission spectrum and orbital elements of a sporadic fireball imaged in 2011
Marín, D.; Madiedo Gil, José María; 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 ... -
A fireball produced by a meteoroid belonging to the delta aquilids stream
Nieto, R.; Madiedo Gil, José María; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Zamorano, J.; Izquierdo Gómez, Jaime; Ocaña Gónzalez, Francisco; Sánchez de Miguel, A.; Pastor, S.; Reyes, J. A. de los (2013)
According to Jenniskens [1], the δ- Aquilids are active from April 10 to April 16, with a maximum peak around April 13. It is currently included in the IAU working list of meteor showers with code 131 DAL. The proposed ... -
Linking a fireball to its likely parent near earth object by means of orbital analysis software tools
Alonso, C.; Madiedo Gil, José María; 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 ... -
Near earth object 2012XJ112 as a source of bright bolides of achondritic nature
Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Williams, I. P.; Konovalova, N.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Pastor, S.; Reyes, J. A. de los; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (Oxford University Press, 2014)
We analyze the likely link between the recently discovered Near Earth Object 2012XJ112 and a bright fireball observed over the south of Spain on December 27, 2012. The bolide, with an absolute magnitude of -9±1, was ... -
On the chemical composition and orbit of a diurnal fireball
Toscano, F. M.; Madiedo Gil, José María; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Pastor, S.; Reyes, J. A. de los (2012)
In general, meteor and fireball imaging systems operate during the night, as these mostly employ high-sensitivity recording devices that get fully saturated even under twilight conditions. Lowsensitivity video cameras ... -
Orbital elements and emission spectrum of a Comae Berenicids fireball
Martínez, L.; Madiedo Gil, José María; Toscano, F. M.; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Pastor, S.; Reyes, J. A. de los (2012)
The Comae Berenicids (COM) is a minor meteor shower with an activity period that extends from Dec. 12 to January 23 and a maximum around the end of December. This shower was tentatively linked to comet 1913 I (Lowe), ... -
A quadrantid fireball imaged in 2011
Díez, F.; Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Pastor, S.; Reyes, J. A. de los (2013)
The Quadrantid meteor shower peaks on Jan. 3-4, with its main activity confined to a 12 to 14 h window. Despite it has one of the highest ZHR of all annual showers (above 100 meteors/hour), it is very difficult to ... -
Spectroscopy and orbital analysis of bright bolides observed over the Iberian Peninsula from 2010 to 2012
Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Pastor, S.; Reyes, J. A. de los; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (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. ...
