We deal with theoretical meteoroid streams the parent bodies of which are two Halley-type comets in orbits situated at a relatively
large distance from the orbit of Earth: 126P/1996 P1 and 161P/2004 V2. For two perihelion passages of each comet in the far
past, we model the theoretical stream and follow its dynamical evolution until the present. We predict the characteristics
of potential meteor showers according to the dynamical properties of theoretical particles currently approaching the orbit
of the Earth. Our dynamical study reveals that the comet 161P/2004 V2 could have an associated Earth-observable meteor shower,
although no significant number of theoretical particles are identified with real, photographic, video, or radar meteors. However,
the mean radiant of the shower is predicted on the southern sky (its declination is about −23°) where a relatively low number
of real meteors has been detected and, therefore, recorded in the databases used. The shower of 161P has a compact radiant
area and a relatively large geocentric velocity of ∼53 km s−1. A significant fraction of particles assumed to be released from comet 126P also cross the Earth’s orbit and, eventually,
could be observed as meteors. However, their radiant area is largely dispersed (declination of radiants spans from about +60°
to the south pole) and, therefore, mixed with the sporadic meteor background. An identification with real meteors is practically
impossible. 相似文献

This study is motivated by the possibility of determining the large-body meteoroid flux at the orbit of Venus. Towards this end, we attempt to estimate the times at which enhanced meteoric activity might be observed in the planet's atmosphere. While a number of meteoroid streams are identified as satisfying common Earth and Venus intercept conditions, it is not clear from the Earth-observed data if these streams contain large-body meteoroids. A subset of the Taurid Complex objects may produce fireball-rich meteor showers on Venus. A total of 11 short-period, periodic comets and 46 near-Earth asteroids approach the orbit of Venus to within 0.1 au, and these objects may have associated meteoroid streams. Comets 27P/Crommelin and 7P/Pons–Winnecke are identified as candidate parents to possible periodic meteor showers at the orbit of Venus. 相似文献

Starting from 80 families of low-energy fast periodic transfer orbits in the Earth–Moon planar circular Restricted Three Body
Problem (RTBP), we obtain by analytical continuation 11 periodic orbits and 25 periodic arcs with similar properties in the
Sun–Earth–Moon Quasi-Bicircular Problem (QBCP). A novel and very simple procedure is introduced giving the solar phases at
which to attempt continuation. Detailed numerical results for each periodic orbit and arc found are given, including their
stability parameters and minimal distances to the Earth and Moon. The periods of these orbits are between 2.5 and 5 synodic
months, their energies are among the lowest possible to achieve an Earth–Moon transfer, and they show a diversity of circumlunar
trajectories, making them good candidates for missions requiring repeated passages around the Earth and the Moon with close
approaches to the last. 相似文献

Over the past three decades, ballistic and impulsive trajectories between libration point orbits (LPOs) in the Sun–Earth–Moon
system have been investigated to a large extent. It is known that coupling invariant manifolds of LPOs of two different circular
restricted three-body problems (i.e., the Sun–Earth and the Earth–Moon systems) can lead to significant mass savings in specific
transfers, such as from a low Earth orbit to the Moon’s vicinity. Previous investigations on this issue mainly considered
the use of impulsive maneuvers along the trajectory. Here we investigate the dynamical effects of replacing impulsive ΔV’s with low-thrust trajectory arcs to connect LPOs using invariant manifold dynamics. Our investigation shows that the use
of low-thrust propulsion in a particular phase of the transfer and the adoption of a more realistic Sun–Earth–Moon four-body
model can provide better and more propellant-efficient solution. For this purpose, methods have been developed to compute
the invariant tori and their manifolds in this dynamical model. 相似文献

Meteoroids always posed a great hazard to spacecraft security. A meteoroids stream assembled by a large massive body will further enhance the hazard severalfold. For example, the radiant of Northern Taurids (NTA) will be occulted by the Moon on Nov. 12, 2011. Since the gravitational lensing effect of massive bodies can gather together the orbits of meteoroids, the observable flux of meteoroids will increase. In this paper a set of numerical methods was built to discuss the observational effect of this kind of phenomena. The ZHR of NTA is generally small. But it can be local strong on the Earth by the lunar gravitational assembling. The calculated result suggests that a ten times stronger than normal NTA will appear in the sea area of Tristan da Cunha islands during 00h45m UT to 02h00m UT on Nov. 12, 2011. 相似文献

Using a meteor orbit radar, a total of more than 2.5 million meteoroids with masses ∼10−7 kg have had orbits measured in the interval 2002-2006. From these data, a total of 45 meteoroid streams have been identified using a wavelet transform approach to isolate enhancements in radiant density in geocentric coordinates. Of the recorded streams, 12 are previously unreported or unrecognized. The survey finds >90% of all meteoroids at this size range are part of the sporadic meteoroid background. A large fraction of the radar detected streams have q<0.15 AU suggestive of a strong contribution from sungrazing comets to the meteoroid stream population currently intersecting the Earth. We find a remarkably long period of activity for the Taurid shower (almost half the year as a clearly definable radiant) and several streams notable for a high proportion of small meteoroids only, among these a strong new shower in January at the time of the Quadrantids (January Leonids). A new shower (Epsilon Perseids) has also been identified with orbital elements almost identical to Comet 96P/Machholz. 相似文献

This paper investigates the orbit radial stabilization of a two-craft virtual Coulomb structure about circular orbits and
at Earth–Moon libration points. A generic Lyapunov feedback controller is designed for asymptotically stabilizing an orbit
radial configuration about circular orbits and collinear libration points. The new feedback controller at the libration points
is provided as a generic control law in which circular Earth orbit control form a special case. This control law can withstand
differential solar perturbation effects on the two-craft formation. Electrostatic Coulomb forces acting in the longitudinal
direction control the relative distance between the two satellites and inertial electric propulsion thrusting acting in the
transverse directions control the in-plane and out-of-plane attitude motions. The electrostatic virtual tether between the
two craft is capable of both tensile and compressive forces. Using the Lyapunov’s second method the feedback control law guarantees
closed loop stability. Numerical simulations using the non-linear control law are presented for circular orbits and at an
Earth–Moon collinear libration point. 相似文献

During the few days centered about new Moon, the lunar surface is optically hidden from Earth-based observers. However, the Moon still offers an observable: an extended sodium tail. The lunar sodium tail is the escaping “hot” component of a coma-like exosphere of sodium generated by photon-stimulated desorption, solar wind sputtering and meteoroid impact. Neutral sodium atoms escaping lunar gravity experience solar radiation pressure that drives them into the anti-solar direction forming a comet-like tail. During new Moon time, the geometry of the Sun, Moon and Earth is such that the anti-sunward sodium flux is perturbed by the terrestrial gravitational field resulting in its focusing into a dense core that extends beyond the Earth. An all-sky camera situated at the El Leoncito Observatory (CASLEO) in Argentina has been successfully imaging this tail through a sodium filter at each lunation since April 2006. This paper reports on the results of the brightness of the lunar sodium tail spanning 31 lunations between April 2006 and September 2008. Brightness variability trends are compared with both sporadic and shower meteor activity, solar wind proton energy flux and solar near ultra violet (NUV) patterns for possible correlations. Results suggest minimal variability in the brightness of the observed lunar sodium tail, generally uncorrelated with any single source, yet consistent with a multi-year period of minimal solar activity and non-intense meteoric fluxes. 相似文献

The Leonid meteor storms of 1833 and 1966 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

The greatest Leonid meteor storms since the late eighteenth century are generally regarded as being those of 1833 and 1966. They were evidently due to dense meteoroid concentrations within the Leonid stream. At those times, the orbit of Comet 55P/Tempel–Tuttle was significantly nearer that of the Earth than at most perihelion returns, but still some tens of Earth radii away. Significantly reducing this miss distance can be critical for producing a storm. Evaluation of differential gravitational perturbations, comparing meteoroids with the comet, shows that, in 1833 and 1966 respectively, the Earth passed through meteoroid trails generated at the 1800 and 1899 returns. 相似文献

The recent systematic monitoring of the skies has led to the discovery of an increasingly large number of objects on Earth
approaching orbits. Not surprisingly, an increasing number of this population have also been associated with meteoroid streams
in the literature. We will review the history of this topic. We have also conducted our own search for asteroids moving on
orbits that are similar to the orbits of known fireball streams. As NEOs are moving in prograde orbits with low geocentric
velocities, any potential streams will have large radiant areas and in consequence, may have been identified as several "sub-streams".
This greatly hampers both their detection and their recognition as single meteoroid streams. With the large number of Near
Earth Asteroids detected, the probability of two orbits being similar at the present time by coincidence is high. We have
therefore also investigated the evolution of the orbits and only include as real asteroid-stream pairs those where the evolution
is also similar over 5000 years. We have identified nine pairs, including the well known pair of the Geminid meteoroid stream
and asteroid 3200 Phaethon. Currently there are a number of papers being published on the pairing of asteroid 2003 EH1 and
the Quadrantid meteoroid stream. Because of the newness of the research and the fact that this is a high inclination pair,
we have excluded this pair from our discussions. 相似文献

Evidence of asteroid surface features as regolith grains and larger boulders implies resurfacing possibility due to external
forces such as gravitational tidal force during close planet encounters. Motion of a meteoroid released from an asteroid in
the gravitational fields of the asteroid and the Earth is modeled. We are interested mainly in a distance between the meteoroid
and the asteroid as a function of the time. Applications to Itokawa and some close approaching NEAs are presented. 相似文献

An Öpik-based geometric algorithm is used to compute impact probabilities and velocity distributions for various near-Earth object (NEO) populations. The resulting crater size distributions for the Earth and Moon are calculated by combining these distributions with assumed NEO size distributions and a selection of crater scaling laws. This crater probability distribution indicates that the largest craters on both the Earth and the Moon are dominated by comets. However, from a calculation of the fractional probabilities of iridium deposition, and the velocity distributions at impact of each NEO population, the only realistic possibilities for the Chicxulub impactor are a short-period comet (possibly inactive) or a near-Earth asteroid. For these classes of object, sufficiently large impacts have mean intervals of 100 and 300 Myr respectively, slightly favouring the cometary hypothesis. 相似文献

The Earth–Moon L1 libration point is proposed as a human gateway for space transportation system of the future. This paper
studies indirect transfer using the perturbed stable manifold and lunar flyby to the Earth–Moon L1 libration point. Although
traditional studies indicate that indirect transfer to the Earth–Moon L1 libration point does not save much fuel, this study
shows that energy efficient indirect transfer using the perturbed stable manifold and lunar flyby could be constructed in
an elegant way. The design process is given to construct indirect transfer to the Earth–Moon L1 libration point. Simulation
results show that indirect transfer to the Earth–Moon L1 libration point saves about 420 m/s maneuver velocity compared to
direct transfer, although the flight time is about 20 days longer. 相似文献

The main points are presented of a new hypothesis of the origin of the Earth—Moon system, developed on the basis of Savi's (1961) theory of the origin of rotation of celestial bodies. The cooling off and contraction due to gravitational attraction on vast particle systems, with the pushing out of electrons from atom shells result in a continually increasing density. Depending on the amount of mass, this pushing out can lead to the expulsion of electrons and the creation of a magnetic field by which a rotational motion is brought about. These conditions are satisfied for the Earth's mass and all larger masses. If the Earth and the Moon formed a unique body, the protoplanet, then once rotational motion had begun, the primeval spherical body must have taken the shape of a large Jacobi ellipsoid. New condensation followed, however no longer solely around the centre of the protoplanet, but also along the edge of the ellipsoid, the process leading to the creation of the dual Earth—Moon system. 相似文献

Over the last decade several new models for the sporadic interplanetary meteoroid flux have been developed. These include
the Divine-Staubach and the Dikarev model. They typically cover mass ranges from 10−18 g to 1 g and are applicable for model specific Sun distance ranges between 0.1 AU and 20 AU Near 1 AU averaged fluxes (over
direction and velocities) for all these models are tuned to the well established interplanetary model by Grün et al. However,
in many respects these models differ considerably. Examples are the velocity and directional distributions and the assumed
meteoroid sources. In this paper flux predictions by the various models to Earth orbiting spacecraft are compared. Main differences
are presented and analysed. The persisting differences even for near Earth space can be seen as surprising in view of the
numerous ground based (optical and radar) and in situ (captured Inter Stellar Dust Particles, in situ detectors and analysis
of retrieved hardware) measurements and simulations. 相似文献

Lunar meteoroid impact flashes provide a method to estimate the flux of the large meteoroid flux and thus their hazard to
spacecraft. Although meteoroid impacts on the Moon have been detected using video methods for over a decade, the difficulty
of manually searching hours of video for the rare, extremely brief impact flashes has discouraged the technique’s systematic
implementation. A prototype has been developed for the purpose of automatically searching lunar video records for impact flashes,
eliminating false detections, editing the returned possible flashes, and archiving and documenting the results. Several utilities
for measurement, analysis, and location of the flashes on the moon included in the program are demonstrated. Application of
the program to a year’s worth of lunar observations is discussed along with examples of impact flashes. 相似文献

On February 28, 2021, a fireball dropped ∼0.6 kg of recovered CM2 carbonaceous chondrite meteorites in South-West England near the town of Winchcombe. We reconstruct the fireball's atmospheric trajectory, light curve, fragmentation behavior, and pre-atmospheric orbit from optical records contributed by five networks. The progenitor meteoroid was three orders of magnitude less massive (∼13 kg) than any previously observed carbonaceous fall. The Winchcombe meteorite survived entry because it was exposed to a very low peak atmospheric dynamic pressure (∼0.6 MPa) due to a fortuitous combination of entry parameters, notably low velocity (13.9 km s−1). A near-catastrophic fragmentation at ∼0.07 MPa points to the body's fragility. Low entry speeds which cause low peak dynamic pressures are likely necessary conditions for a small carbonaceous meteoroid to survive atmospheric entry, strongly constraining the radiant direction to the general antapex direction. Orbital integrations show that the meteoroid was injected into the near-Earth region ∼0.08 Myr ago and it never had a perihelion distance smaller than ∼0.7 AU, while other CM2 meteorites with known orbits approached the Sun closer (∼0.5 AU) and were heated to at least 100 K higher temperatures. 相似文献

The history of associating meteor showers with asteroidal-looking objects is long, dating to before the 1983 discovery that
3200 Phaethon moves among the Geminids. Only since the more recent recognition that 2003 EH1 moves among the Quadrantids are
we certain that dormant comets are associated with meteoroid streams. Since that time, many orphan streams have found parent
bodies among the newly discovered Near Earth Objects. The seven established associations pertain mostly to showers in eccentric
or highly inclined orbits. At least 35 other objects are tentatively linked to streams in less inclined orbits that are more
difficult to distinguish from those of asteroids. There is mounting evidence that the streams originated from discrete breakup
events, rather than long episodes of gradual water vapor outgassing. If all these associations can be confirmed, they represent
a significant fraction of all dormant comets that are in near-Earth orbits, suggesting that dormant comets break at least
as frequently as the lifetime of the streams. I find that most pertain to NEOs that have not yet fully decoupled from Jupiter.
The picture that is emerging is one of rapid disintegration of comets after being captured by Jupiter, and consequently, that
objects such as 3200 Phaethon most likely originated from among the most primitive asteroids in the main belt, instead. They
too decay mostly by disintegration into comet fragments and meteoroid streams. The disintegration of dormant comets is likely
the main source of our meteor showers and the main supply of dust to the zodiacal cloud.
