A technique for calculating meteor plasma density and meteoroid mass from radar head echo scattering
Large-aperture radars detect the high-density plasma that forms in the vicinity of a meteoroid and moves approximately at its velocity; reflections from these plasmas are called head echoes. To determine the head plasma density and configuration, we model the interaction of a radar wave with the plasma without using assumptions about plasma density. This paper presents a scattering method that ...
متن کاملRadar observations of meteor trails
Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract A Fresnel Transform technique has been developed at Adelaide to analyse radar meteor echoes detected in the transverse mode. The genesis for this technique was the study of the structure of the scattering ionization immediately behind the head of the trai...
متن کاملAlpha Cygnids - a possible July minor meteor shower
We present a comprehensive study of a possible α-Cygnid meteor shower. Based on visual and telescopic observations made by Polish observers we estimate basic parameters of the stream. Activity of α-Cygnids lasts from around June 30 to July 31 with clear maximum near July 18 (solar longitude λ = 116.5◦). Maximal Zenithal Hourly Rates (ZHRs) are equal to 3.6± 1.2. The structure of the radiant ana...

متن کاملSSC00-IV-3 Leonid Meteor Observer in LEO: A University Microsatellite to Observe a Meteor Shower From Space
This paper presents university-based design and development of a micro-satellite for the observation of a meteor shower from the low Earth orbit. The satellite will be launched as a piggy-back payload of a commercial rocket launcher, a few weeks before the 2001 or 2002 Leonid meteor maximum in which thousands of meteors are scientifically expected. The goal of the mission is to conduct the scie...
