The physical properties of the stone meteorites provide important clues to understanding the
formation and physical evolution of material in the Solar protoplanetary disk as well …

Meteorites provide vast amounts of information on the make up and history of the solar
system. Physical properties are a critical component to provide this information. This is a …

Asteroids with diameters smaller than∼ 50–100 m that collide with the Earth usually do not
hit the ground as a single body; rather, they detonate in the atmosphere. These small objects …

An asteroid's history is determined in large part by its strength against collisions with other
objects,(impact strength). Laboratory experiments on centimetre-scale meteorites have been …

Non-destructive, non-contaminating, and relatively simple procedures can be used to
measure the bulk density, grain density, and porosity of meteorites. Most stony meteorites …

In the absence of a firm link between individual meteorites and their asteroidal parent
bodies, asteroids are typically characterized only by their light reflection properties, and …

Meteorites provide a unique insight into early Solar System processes. However, to fully
interpret this record requires that these meteorites are related back to their source asteroids …

We have assembled data on 13 cases of meteorite falls with accurate tracking data on
atmospheric passage. In all cases, we estimate the bulk strength of the object corresponding …

Carbonaceous chondrites are among the most analyzed geological materials on Earth.
However, despite this attention, and unlike most terrestrial rocks, little is known on the …

The Košice meteorite fall occurred in eastern Slovakia on February 28, 2010, 22: 25 UT. The
very bright bolide was imaged by three security video cameras from Hungary. Detailed …
