Download or read book Physics of Meteoric Phenomena written by V.A. Bronshten and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Meteoric phenomena" is the accepted term for the complex of physi cal phenomena that accompany the entry of meteoric bodies into the at mosphere of the earth (or of any planet). "Meteoric bodies" are usually defined as cosmic bodies observed by optical or radar techniques, when they enter the atmosphere. The limiting sensitivity of present-day radar equipment makes it possible to record meteors of up to stellar magnitude +14, while the most brilliant bolides may reach magnitude -19. On a mass 7 7 scale this corresponds approximately to a range of 10- to 10 g. How ever, met~or astronomy is also concerned with larger objects, namely crater-forming meteorites, or objects that cause large-scale destruction when they arrive through the atmosphere (an example is the Tunguska River meteorite). Consideration of the interaction of such objects with 12 the terrestrial atmosphere extends the mass range to 10 g. On the other hand, scientists studying fragmentation processes in meteoric bod 7 ies have to consider particles with masses less than 10- g, and the use of data from meteoric-particle counters on rockets and artificial satel lites, from microcraters on the lunar surface, and from noctilucent clouds 12 lowers the minimum mass to 10- g. Therefore, the mass range of meteoric bodies, or meteoroids, encompasses 24 orders of magnitude. Although recent years have witnessed considerable development in meteor research, both in the Soviet Union and elsewhere, the main mono graphs on meteor physics were published twenty or more years ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The meteoroid environment and the effects of hypervelocity impact on a space vehicles are described, and the effects of the incompleteness of present knowledge of each are discussed. The overall problem of the meteoroid hazard is evaluated and methods of eliminating the probability of meteoroid damage are given. A partial listing of typical research projects on meteoroid-environment and hypervelocity-impact problems is presented.

Book excerpt: "Hypersonic Meteoroid Entry Physics gives a fascinating overview of the different aspects related to meteoroid atmospheric entry. The book covers meteoroid observations in outer space, the description of the chemical-physical phenomena during atmospheric entry, recovery of the meteor on the Earth's surface, and meteorite chemical analysis. The book, based on the lectures given during the HyMEP course held in Erice in 2017, is addressed to students and researchers with an interest in plasma chemistry, astrophysics and aerospace engineering. It gives a comprehensive overview of the present status of the investigation on meteoroid entry physics while merging the knowledge of astrophysicists and the aerospace engineering communities.

Download or read book Lunar Meteoroid Impacts and How to Observe Them written by Brian Cudnik and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genesis of modern searches for observable meteoritic phenomena on the Moon is the paper by Lincoln La Paz in Popular Astronomy magazine in 1938. In it he argued that the absence of observed fashes of meteoritic impacts on the Moon might be interpreted to mean that these bodies are destroyed as luminous meteors in an extremely rarefed lunar atmosphere. The paper suggested the possibility of systematic searches for such possible lunar meteors. With these concepts in mind, I was surprised to note a transient moving bright speck on the Moon on July 10, 1941. It appeared to behave very much as a lunar meteor would – except that the poorly estimated duration would lead to a strongly hyperbolic heliocentric velocity. Thus, the idea of systematic searches for both p- sible lunar meteors and meteoritic impact fashes was born. It was appreciated that much time might need to be expended to achieve any positive results. Systematic searches were carried out by others and myself chiefy in the years 1945–1965 and became a regular program at the newly founded Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers, or ALPO.
Download or read book Atmospheric and Space Flight Dynamics written by Ashish Tewari and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-15 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a unified presentation that does not discriminate between atmospheric and space flight. It demonstrates that the two disciplines have evolved from the same set of physical principles and introduces a broad range of critical concepts in an accessible, yet mathematically rigorous presentation. The book presents many MATLAB and Simulink-based numerical examples and real-world simulations. Replete with illustrations, end-of-chapter exercises, and selected solutions, the work is primarily useful as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate-level students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mathematical model is used to represent 8pik's 1958 physical theory of meteors in a form convenient for programming the computation of meteoroid photometric mass values. Sub-samples of 333 photographic meteors from McCrosky and Posen's sample are selected with respect to magnitude scaled for minimum velocity. A statistical comparison between the 1958 8pik resulst and the 1933 8pik provisional result, the Harvard-Meteor project basis for mass values, lative flux in absolute units for mass, momentum and energy are given separately for the terrestrial influx and for the lunar and interplanetary vehicle onfluxes.
