; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Konovalova, N.; Castro Tirado, Alberto J. (2012)
The parent body of the Draconid meteoroid stream is the short period comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. This cometary debris gives rise to an annual display of meteors from about October 6 to October 10, with a maximum activity ... -
The 2006 Orionid outburst imaged by all-sky CCD cameras from Spain: meteoroid spatial fluxes and orbital elements
Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Madiedo Gil, José María; Llorca, Jordi; Gural, P. S.; Pujols, P.; Tezel, Tunc (Oxford University Press, 2007)
By using high-resolution low-scan-rate all-sky CCD cameras, the SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN) detected an outburst of Orionid meteors associated with comet 1P/Halley on 2006 October 20–21. This detection was made possible ... -
A 2010 fireball produced by a meteoroid from comet 1P/Halley
Comet 1P/Halley is the source of the Orionid and η Aquariid meteor showers [1]. The latter one takes place during the second encounter of the Earth with 1P/Halley debris in October, when our planet is as close as ... -

On October 8, 2011 the Earth crossed dust trails ejected from comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner in the late 19th and early 20th Century. This gave rise to an outburst in the activity of the October Draconid meteor shower, and ... -
A 2012 geminid fireball : atmospheric trajectory, orbit and spectrum
Prieto, S.; Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Zamorano, J.; Izquierdo Gómez, Jaime; Ocaña Gónzalez, Francisco; Sánchez de Miguel, A.; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis (2013)
Asteroid (3200) Phaeton is the par- ent body of the Geminid meteoroid stream. These par- ticles give rise to one of the strongest annual meteor showers, with an activity period that extends from Nov. 27 to Dec. 28, ... -
The 2012 geminids balloon-borne mission over Spain
Sánchez de Miguel, A.; Ocaña Gónzalez, Francisco; Madiedo Gil, José María; Ortuño, F.; Conde, A.; León, P.; Gómez Sánchez-Tirado, M. A.; Mayo, D.; Raya, R.; Zamorano, J.; Izquierdo Gómez, Jaime; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María (2013)
Observing meteors from the stratosphere improves detection efficiency thanks to much lower extinction. Previous airborne missions have already monitored meteor outbursts. However due to their cost these missions are ... -
A 2012 taurid bolide imaged in the framework of the Spanish fireball network
In 2010 the Spanish Meteor Net- work (SPMN) started a special program to obtain very precise orbital information on 2P/Encke meteoroids that is currently the focus of the author master thesis [1, 2]. The orbital ... -
