http://www.cora.nwra.com/Meteoroids2010/This conference will be the seventh in a series of meetings on meteoroids and related topics, which have been held approximately every three years since 1993. In 2007 the meeting was organized by the Institut d’Estudis Espacials de Catalunya (IEEC) and the Institut de Ciències de l’Espai (CSIC) and was held in CosmoCaixa, the science museum of the Obra Social Fundació La Caixa in Barcelona, Spain. The topics covered during that meeting included the origin, nature, evolution and dynamics of solar system minor bodies, with special emphasis on the study of micrometer- to meter-sized fragments of comets and asteroids.
The 2010 meeting programme is expected to have sessions which cover the following areas:
- Observational techniques and meteor detection programs
- Meteor shower activity and forecasting
- Dynamics, sources and spatial distribution of meteoroids including
sporadic, swarm and interstellar meteoroids
- Meteoroid interactions with Earth and planetary atmospheres;
ablation, fragmentation, deceleration.
- Atmospheric effects induced by meteors; Physics and chemistry of
meteor interactions processes in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere
- Astromineralogy: properties of meteoroids
- Interrelationships: meteoroids - IDPs - dust - micrometeorites -
meteorites
- Meteoroid flux and impact hazard; Hypervelocity impacts
on the moon and spacecraft
- Meteor studies in astrobiology: organics and delivery process
- New techniques for detections of meteors and fireballs
- Meteor detection including cameras, telescopes, lidar, seismic and
infrasound sensors
- Radar observations and large aperture radars
Both invited and contributed talks, will be included in the program. The program schedule will encourage informal interchange between the different research communities. Deadlines for registration and abstract submission for contributed talks and posters will be announced in the Fall of 2009.
