... including celestial mechanics, planetary science, and the dynamical evolution and interrelationships of comets, asteroids, meteoroids and interplanetary dust), and (iv) Solar System - Terrestrial Relationships (including solar variability, climate ...
... On 2001 November 18th UT, the Earth will have close encounters with trails of meteoroids and dust generated over the past few centuries by Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. ...
... healthy about astronomical research when, under the same cover, an event which took place in 1333 AD (Leonid bursts as a resonance meteoroid component from Comet Temple/Tuttle) is discussed followed by a paper on how we might more effectively search for ...
... The largest contribution to the fireball-rich Leonid outburst of 1998 has previously been shown to be a component of resonant meteoroids ejected from Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle in 1333. ...
... In the early hours (UT) of 2000 November 18, the Earth will encounter the 8-revolution old trail of meteoroids and dust from Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, and, a few hours later, the 4-revolution trail. ...
... It can also be shown, from orbit geometry calculations combined with knowledge of meteoroid ejection processes from cometary nuclei, that young dust trails in different streams have differently shaped cross sections, and therefore different outburst ...
