Infrasonic Observations of Meteoroids: Preliminary Results from a Coordinated Optical-radar-infrasound Observing Campaign
Recent observations using the newly installed Elginfield infrasound array in coordination with the Southern Ontario all-sky meteor camera network and Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR) has shown that the number of meteors producing infrasound at the Earth’s surface is more frequent than previously thought. These data show the flux of meteoroids capable of producing infrasound at the ground is a...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Low-Perihelion Meteoroid Streams
The Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR) has collected information on a number of weak meteor showers that have not been well characterized in the literature. A subsample of these showers (1) do not show a strong orbital resemblance to any known comets or asteroids, (2) have highly inclined orbits, (3) are at low perihelion distances ( 1 AU) and (4) are at small semimajor axes (\2 AU). Though one...
متن کاملAn initial meteoroid stream survey in the southern hemisphere using the Southern Argentina Agile Meteor Radar (SAAMER)
We present in this manuscript a 4 year survey of meteor shower radiants utilizing the Southern Argentina Agile Meteor Radar (SAAMER). SAAMER, which operates at the southern most region of South America, is a new generation SKiYMET system designed with significant differences from typical meteor radars including high transmitted power and an 8-antenna transmitting array enabling large detected r...
متن کاملObservations of meteor-head echoes using the Jicamarca 50 MHz radar in interferometer mode
We present results of recent observations of meteor-head echoes obtained with the high-power largeaperture Jicamarca 50 MHz radar (11.95 S, 76.87 W) in an interferometric mode. The large power-aperture of the system allows us to record more than 3000 meteors per hour in the small volume subtended by the 1 antenna beam, albeit when the cluttering equatorial electrojet (EEJ) echoes are not presen...
متن کاملMeteor velocity determination with plasma physics
Understanding the global meteor flux at Earth requires the measurement of meteor velocities. While several radar methods exist for measuring meteor velocity, they may be biased by plasma reflection mechanisms. This paper presents a new method for deriving meteoroid velocity from the altitudinal extent of non-specular trails. This method employs our recent discoveries on meteor trail plasma inst...
