Statistics of meteors based on the results of observations at the MMT-9 and meteor research prospects
Abstract
The 9-channel Mini-MegaTORTORA (MMT-9) system makes it possible to study meteors with limiting apparent magnitude to 10.5 m with a time resolution of 0.1 seconds. The MMT-9 database contains over 330 thousand meteors registered from 2014 to 2022. In double-station observations with MMT-9 and the FAVOR wide-angle telescope, about a hundred meteor tracks were recorded, for which atmospheric trajectories were obtained. Spectral observations of meteors have begun with the help of an objective prism, which is equipped with one of the MMT-9 channels. In this mode, the spectra of meteors up to apparent magnitude 6 will be studied with a spectral resolution of 150 Å.
