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.

Participants are encouraged to contribute to the program of the 2011 IMC with a talk, a poster, a photo exhibition or video presentations on visual, photographic, video or radio observations, fireballs, orbit determination, stream modeling, meteor physics, extraterrestrial meteors, parent bodies, observing expeditions, or anything else related to meteors and their observation.
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
