The Northern χ-Orionid meteoroid stream and possible association with the potentially hazardous asteroid 2008XM1
Madiedo Gil, José María
; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Williams, I. P.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (Oxford University Press, 2013)
We present new orbital data and dynamic results pointing towards the origin of the Northern χ-Orionid meteoroid stream, which is a part of the Taurid meteoroid complex. A new software package was developed to establish ... -
On the activity of the γ -Ursae Minorids meteoroid stream in 2010 and 2011
Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Lyytinen, E.; Dergham, J.; Pujols, P.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (Oxford University Press, 2013)
Accurate orbital data obtained for the recently discovered γ -Ursae Minorids meteoroid stream during the 2010 and 2011 Spanish Meteor Network and Finnish Fireball Network observing campaigns are presented. In particular, ... -
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 ... -
On the development of robotic CCD video meteor observing station in Spain
Madiedo Gil, José María; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Díaz Blanco, Manuel Jesús; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María (2010)
Since 2006 the SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN) has set up several automated video stations in Spain for increasing the atmospheric cover-age of the already existing low-scan-rate all-sky CCD systems [1, 2]. However, in spite ... -
Orbit, emission spectrum, and photometric analysis of two flickering sporadic fireballs
Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Konovalova, N.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Alonso Azcárate, Jacinto; Lacruz, J.; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (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 ... -
Orbits and emission spectra from the 2014 Camelopardalids
Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Zamorano, J.; Izquierdo Gómez, Jaime; Sánchez de Miguel, A.; Ocaña Gónzalez, Francisco; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Espartero, F.; Morillas, Lorenzo G.; Cardeñosa, David; Moreno Ibáñez, Manuel; Urzáiz, Marta (Oxford University Press, 2014)
We have analysed the meteor activity associated with meteoroids of fresh dust trails of Comet 209P/LINEAR, which produced an outburst of the Camelopardalid meteor shower (IAU code #451, CAM) in 2014 May.With this aim, ... -
Physico-chemical properties of meteoroids from the alpha-capricornid stream
Toscano, F. M.; Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (2013)
Several objects have been proposed as the parent body of the α-Capricornid meteoroid stream. Among these we can find the short period comets 141P/Machholz and 45P/Honda-Mrkos- Pajdusakova, but also asteroids such as ... -
A potential meteorite-dropping fireball recorded over Spain in 2011
Rodríguez Ramírez, Antonio; Madiedo Gil, José María; Lyytinen, E.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J. (2013)
Although most meteoroids impacting our atmosphere ablate completely, some fireball events may produce, under favourable conditions, a non-zero terminal mass. In these cases these materials reach the ground as meteorites. ... -
Preliminary results from the 2011-2012 moon impact flashes monitoring compaign
The identification and analysis of flashes produced by the impact of meteoroids on the lunar surface is one of the techniques suitable for the study of the flux of interplanetary matter impacting the Earth. The first ... -
Robotic systems for meteor observing and lunar impact flashes detection in Spain
Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Morales, Nicolás (2009)
Since November 2008, a new robotic observatory is being setup by the University of Huelva within the environment of the Doñana Natural Park, in the south- west of Spain. Most of the systems in this astronomical observatory ... -
Robotic systems for meteor observing and moon impact flashes detection in Spain
Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Morales, Nicolás (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
A robotic observatory has been setup in the south-west of Spain with the aim to study meteoroids interacting with the Earth's atmosphere and meteoroids impacting on the Moon's surface. This is achieved by using an array ... -
Spanish meteor network : 2006 all-sky and video monitoring highlights
Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Madiedo Gil, José María; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Gural, P. S.; Llorca, Jordi; Fabregat Llueca, Juan; Vítek, Stanislav; Pujols, P.; Troughton, Blanca (2007)
We previously reported [1] the first steps in the development of the SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN) by using innovative low-scan all-sky CCD cameras that are reaching +2/+3 meteor limiting magnitude [1]. During 2006 new ... -
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. ... -
A superbolide recorded over Spain on July 13, 2012
Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Zamorano, J.; Sánchez de Miguel, A.; Ocaña Gónzalez, Francisco; Izquierdo Gómez, Jaime; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Morales, Nicolás; Galadí, D.; Guindos, E. de; Lacruz, J.; Organero, F.; Hernández, L. A.; Fonseca, F.; Tapia, Mar; Cabrera Caño, Jesús (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 ... -
The "Valencia de las Torres" superbolide of August 23, 2012
Rodríguez Vallejo, M. L.; Madiedo Gil, José María; Trigo Rodríguez, Josep María; Zamorano, J.; Izquierdo Gómez, Jaime; Castro Tirado, Alberto J.; Ortiz Moreno, José Luis; Ocaña Gónzalez, Francisco; Sánchez de Miguel, A. (2013)
On August 23, 2012, a superbolide was recorded by our fireball monitoring systems operating in the south and center of Spain. Its emission spectrum was also obtained in the framework of the continuous spectroscopic ...
