›Meteoroids 2013

The Institute Astronomical Observatory of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań welcomes all participants to the 8-th Meteoroids 2013 Conference.

The intention of the Meteoroids 2013 meeting is to cover a broad area of science topics related to meteor astronomy. The program of the conference will contain oral and poster sessions.

The conference will accommodate a broad range of meteoroid research which will include the following scientific topics:

• Optical observations of meteors (visual, photographic, and video, new techniques, data reduction, results).
• Radar observations of meteors (classical and large aperture, new techniques, data reduction, results).
• Other meteor observation techniques and programs (new and future techniques and programs, infra sound, seismic records).
• Meteoroid data bases ( MDC, database structure, reduction and precision of meteoroid data, data standards).
• Meteoroid interactions with atmospheres (impacts, ablation, fragmentation, bolides modeling, astrobiology).
• Meteoroid and dust dynamics (gravitational, non gravitational).
• Meteoroid relationships with comets and asteroids (meteoroid streams, searching techniques, evolution, activity forecasting).
• Sporadic meteoroids and dust (origin, meteoroid flux, impact hazard, space debris).
• Physical properties of meteoroids and meteorites (including dust, astromineralogy).
• Interstellar Meteors and Dust (observational evidences, origin, astrobiology).
• Historical records (meteor showers, bolides, meteorites, comets).
• Outreach and relation with amateur meteor astronomers.
