Explosive volcanic eruptions can loft ash, gases, and water into the stratosphere, which
affects both human activities and the climate. Using geostationary satellite images of the 15 …

The mineralogy and physical properties of Chelyabinsk meteorites (fall, February 15, 2013)
are presented. Three types of meteorite material are present, described as the light-colored …

Meteor and fireball observations are key to the derivation of both the inventory and physical
characterization of small solar system bodies orbiting in the vicinity of the Earth. For several …

Large meteors (or superbolides [Ceplecha Z, et al.(1999) Meteoroids 1998: 37–54]),
although rare in recorded history, give sobering testimony to civilization's inherent …

Abstract Using the Secular Light Curve (SLC) formalism (Ferrín, 2010), we have catalogued
88 probable members of the Taurid Complex (TC). 51 of them have useful SLCs and 34 of …

We report on extensive BVR c I c photometry and low-resolution (λ/Δ λ∼ 250) spectroscopy
of the deep-space debris WT1190F, which impacted Earth offshore from Sri Lanka, on 2015 …

Bright fireballs or bolides are caused by meteoroids entering the Earth's atmosphere at high
speed. Some have a cometary origin, a few may have originated within the Venus–Earth …

Context. One of the most energetic bolide events in recent decades was detected by the US
Government sensors (USGS) over remote areas of the Bering Sea on December 18, 2018 …

In this study, we investigate the ablation properties of bolides capable of producing
meteorites. The casual dashcam recordings from many locations of the Chelyabinsk …

A major bolide event causing damage and injuries in a region of the Russian Federation
east of the Ural Mountains occurred at approximately 03: 20 GMT on the morning of 15 …
