Session Title | Meteor Science |
Main Convener | Dr. Toshihiro Kasuga (IfA, University of Hawaii, United States) |
Co-convener(s) | Dr. Masateru Ishiguro (Seoul National University, Korea, South) |
Session Description | The study of the meteor is believed to be clue for understanding the origin, compositions, evolution process of small bodies in the solar system and the dynamical evolution process of meteoroids in interplanetary space. This session includes dynamics, sources and spatial distribution of sporadic, streams and interstellar meteoroids, physics and chemistry of meteoroid interaction in the atmosphere, meteor spectroscopy, chemical composition of meteoroids, interplanetary dust particles, micro-meteorites, new techniques for detection of meteors using satellites or spacecraft. Our session gives the opportunity to approach the latest topics of meteor science. |
