Real-time meteoroid fluxes from video data A talk by Geert
Barentsen for the International Meteor Conference 2013
Hello. I’m Geert Barentsen @GeertMcTwit www.geert.io github.com/barentsen
I do galactic astronomy during daytime The
I do meteors during nighttime I
Visual observations are awesome.
Because human eyes are sensitive.
~1 mag deeper ~3x larger field (100°) (Ignoring caveats) One
human is worth about six cameras.
And human eyes are everywhere.
Perseids 2013 visual data
Visible light observations of meteor rates are useful.
Landsat 5 got hit (probably) Perseids 2009 WTF?! WTF?! WTF?!
But not all showers are observed well.
Leonids 2012 20 Nov 2012, 6 UT: counted 33 Leonids
in 1 hour fluke or not?
How many minor outbursts are being missed?
Possibly a lot. Draconids 2012 only visible here
Does it matter?
YES. Because outbursts constrain models.
OK. Now that we agree. How do we fix this?
Super Sirko to the rescue In 2011, MetRec started estimating
fluxes.
MetRec estimates the Effective Collection Area (ECA) Area corrected for
direction, extinction and limiting magnitude. (cf. Molau 2011) flux(mag < 6.5) = #meteors / ECA [km-2 h-1]
Draconids 2011 Made available in real-time at http://imonet.org (Koschack
Every clear minute, MetRec produces a flux record. { ‘time’:
‘2013-08-21 03:42’, ‘station’: ‘MINCAM1’, ‘shower’: ‘PER’, ‘eca’: 3.18, ‘met’: 3, ‘mag’: [2, -1, 3], ‘lm’: 4.2, ... }

Perseids 2011-2013 (averaged)
Lyrids 2011-2013
Quadrantids 2012-2013
eta-Aquariids 2011-2013 WTF?!
Leonids 2011-2012 WTF?!
Orionids 2011-2012 (averaged) WTF?!
Northern Taurids 2011-2012 (averaged) WTF?! WTF?! Likely
Antihelion 2012 WTF?! WTF?!
Draconids 2012 No
Alexandr Maidik (Ukraine) 55 Draconids (16h00-18h00 UT) peak at ~16h50
Jakub Koukal (Czech Republic) 60 Draconids (17h00-19h10 UT) peak at ~17h05 Draconids 2012 visual observations
Visual observations are still awesome. ... let’s add them to
the tool.
https://github.com/barentsen/meteor-flux Code is open under MIT license. Anyone wants to
join?
Next steps: ... include mass index; ... understand systematics (moon,
clouds); ... switch on real-time reporting in MetRec.
Thanks Poznyan.
