A large lunar impact blast on September 11th 2013
(Oxford University Press, 2014)
On 2013 September 11 at 20h07m28 .s 68 ± 0 .s 01 UTC, two telescopes operated in the framework of our lunar impact flashes monitoring project recorded an extraordinary flash produced by the impact on the Moon of a large ...

Near-earth object 2012XJ112 as a source of bright bolides of achondritic nature
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)
We analyse the likely link between the recently discovered near-Earth object 2012XJ112 and a bright fireball observed over the south of Spain on 2012 December 27. The bolide, with an absolute magnitude of -9 ± 1, was ...

The Northern ω-Scorpiid meteoroid stream: orbits and emission spectra
(Springer Verlag, 2016-07-09)
We analyze the activity of the Northern ω-Scorpiid meteor shower between 2010 and 2012. For this purpose we have employed an array of low-lux CCD video cameras and spectrographs deployed at different astronomical observatories ...

On the activity of the γ -Ursae Minorids meteoroid stream in 2010 and 2011
(2013)
Accurate orbital data obtained for the recently discovered γ -Ursae Minorids meteoroid stream during the 2010 and 2011 Spanish Meteor Network and Finnish Fireball Network observing ampaigns are presented. In particular, ...

Spectroscopy and orbital analysis of bright bolides observed over the Iberian Peninsula from 2010 to 2012
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We present the analysis of the atmospheric trajectory and orbital data of four bright bolides observed over Spain, one of which is a potential meteorite dropping event. Their absolute magnitude ranges from -10 to -11. Two ...

Lunar impact flashes from geminids: Analysis of luminous efficiencies and the flux of large meteoroids on earth
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
We analyse lunar impact flashes recorded by our team during runs in December 2007, 2011, 2013 and 2014. In total, 12 impact flashes with magnitudes ranging between 7.1 and 9.3 in V band were identified. From these, nine ...

The Northern χ -Orionid meteoroid stream and possible association with the potentially hazardous asteroid 2008XM1
(2013)
We present new orbital data and dynamic results pointing towards the origin of the Northern χ -Orionid meteoroid stream, which is a part of the Taurid meteoroid complex. A new software package was developed to establish ...

Bright fireballs associated with the potentially hazardous asteroid 2007LQ19
(Oxford University Press, 2014)
We analyse here two very bright fireballs produced by the ablation in the atmosphere of two large meteoroids in 2009 and 2010. These slow-moving and deep-penetrating events were observed over Spain in the framework of our ...
