Evaluation of cosmic effects and risks of small bodies in the Solar System at Konkoly Observatory
Abstract
Our project deals with observational studies of small bodies in the Solar System that approach the Earth and have the potential of impacting our planet. The observations combine a range of astronomical and geophysical techniques, among which a network of dedicated digital meteor cameras for measuring accurate orbits of bright fireballs, and the most advanced digital ionosonde techniques to complement optical meteor observations with radar measurements. We also intend to build the most sensitive system for detecting lunar impacts, with which we can characterize the impactor population.
