Conference topics
The conference welcomes contributions in the field of meteor science and closely related topics. We particularly encourage presentations by amateur astronomers; both at beginner and advanced level! Contributions by professional astronomers are also highly appreciated.
We suggest the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics:
Visual observations
  • Observing campaigns: results and future plans
  • Meteor shower analyses from visual data
  • Results from the 2009 Leonids outburst
Video & photographic observations
  • Observing campaigns: results and future plans
  • Instrumentation and software
  • Obtaining meteoroid flux from video counts
  • Evaluation of algorithms for automated astrometry
  • Telescopic observations
Radio observations
  • Instrumentation and software
  • Obtaining meteoroid flux from forward scatter counts
Fireball observations
  • Collecting observations from the public
  • Meteorite recovery
Trajectory & orbit determination
  • Results from double-station campaigns
  • Comparison of trajectory determination algorithms
Stream modelling
  • Predictions for future meteor showers
  • Observing requirements for testing theoretical models
Parent bodies
  • Parent body observations
  • Parent body dynamics & fragmentation
Extraterrestrial meteors
  • Observing lunar impact flashes
  • Meteors in atmospheres of other planets
  • Observing meteors from space
