Meteor Source Tracing: Robust Method in the Moroccan Meteor Network
ORAL
Abstract
This presentation explores advancements in the methodology of the Moroccan meteor observation network, specifically tailored for robustly linking observed meteors to their parent bodies. Established in 2012, the network strategically deploys cameras across diverse regions of Morocco, prioritizing photometric analyses, precise orbit computations, and the establishment of unequivocal connections to the parent bodies of meteors. The primary focus of this presentation lies in clarifying the complexity of the network's sophisticated linking methodology, showcasing its effectiveness in precisely identifying meteor origins. Evolving through collaborative endeavors, the network stands as a reliable and innovative platform for unraveling celestial phenomena. A compelling example will be presented, underscoring the network's ability to predict potential impact zones on Earth, thereby contributing significantly to our understanding of the dynamic interaction between meteoroids and our planet.
