Following on from the success of last September's 3-day workshop on
meteor orbit determination, held in Roden, the Netherlands, we plan to hold a half day
follow-on meeting immediately before the IMC 2007 in Barège, France. All groups
and individuals working or simply interested in determining meteoroid orbits from double
and multi-station observations are welcome to attend.
Practical information
The informal meeting will be held on Thursday, June 7 (at 14:00 local time), and should conclude by dinner time that evening.
As with the Radio Meteor School and the IMC itself, the meeting will be held at
"L'Hospitalet", Barèges,
France. You will find travel and other information on http://www.imo.net/imc2007.
Organisers
The meeting is again being organised by Detlef Koschny and Jonathan Mc Auliffe (ESA/ESTEC). If you have any questions please contact
Jonathan Mc Auliffe.
Preliminary Program
The main topics (in no particular order) that will be tabled for discussion are:
- Video meteor orbit database - status.
- Meteor detection algorithms - accurate identification of meteors in video frames.
- Orbit determination algorithms.
- Orbit determination software - data testing.
