Dust in the solar system

Celestial coordinate systemsElevataion = height above the horizon (angle, degrees)Azimuth = north/south/east/west (angle, degrees)

All-sky camerasPros and cons with views (here Fish-eye): Zenith «makes sense» Less distortion of tracks
This rig of fours cameras at Solobservatoriet acts as one all-sky camera

All-sky cameras
Pros and cons with views (here Panorama): Horizon «makes sense» Upright image Most meteors are visible low in the sky

A growing network of cameras
Norway: 4 (6) camerashttp://ildkule.nov/Norsk Meteornettverk, Steinar Midtskogen
Sweden: 16 camerashttp://www.astro.uu.se/~meteor/v/Uppsala Universitet, Eric Stemples
Denmark: 8 camerashttp://www.stjerneskud.infohttp://www.ildkugle.dk/(v/Nordjysk Astronomisk Forening og Anton Norup Sørensen)

Detecting meteors with multiple cameras
Verification by simultaneus eventsTriangulation of meteors
‣precise positioningGives great material for discussing precision of measurments!

Understanding the images
// Is movement speed in allowed range? if ((dist < diffpos_threshold*n) || (dist > diffpos_hilim*n)) { if (verbose) fprintf(stderr," Cancelled by diffpos_threshold\n"); n_diff_trigged = 0; n_diff_trigged_conseq = 0; } // Is movement in a straight line? if (n < n_diff_trigged_conseq-1) { if (verbose) fprintf(stderr,"Angle %5.2f PrevAngle %5.2f AngleLimit %5.2f\n";
// NB: divide angle_hilim by 2 since diff is absolute if (abs(prev_angle - angle) > angle_hilim/2/n) { if (verbose) fprintf(stderr, "Cancelled by angle limit\n"); n_diff_trigged = 0; n_diff_trigged_conseq = 0; } } prev_angle = angle; } }
if (n_diff_trigged_conseq >= diff_consec_limit && !trig_delay_running) { fprintf(stderr,"Delayed saving timer started!\n"); trig_delay_running=TRUE; } }
Identifying a meteor – A suitable task for younger kids?
...and how to make sense out of this?

Future work We have enough cameras to do alot of interesting
observations, but... We want more collaborating schools and cameras Develop «Tinder for meteors» (swipe left for meteor,
right for planes, UFOs, bugs and lens flares. ... (place your vote here)
We want feedback on: How should «Tinder for meteors» work? Existing cameras we can include in our data-
exchange network (in UK, Latvia, Finland, Iceland)?
