TL;DR: A global survey of airbursts of a kiloton or more is performed, and it is found that the number of impactors with diameters of tens of metres may be an order of magnitude higher than estimates based on other techniques, which suggests a non-equilibrium in the near-Earth asteroid population.

NASA's Meteoroid Engineering Model (MEM) 3 and its ability to replicate spacecraft impact rates
TL;DR: In this article, an updated version of the Meteoroid Engineering Model (MEM) is presented, which better captures the correlation between directionality and velocity and incorporates a bulk density distribution, and compares its predictions with the rate of large particle impacts seen on the LDEF and the Pegasus II and III satellites.

Improving Ego-Velocity Estimation of Low-Cost Doppler Radars for Vehicles
Aaron Kingery,Dezhen Song +1 more
TL;DR: An elevation and background aware cost (EBAC) function is proposed to formulate an optimization framework which can distinguish the object types to improve ego-velocity estimation and a robust estimation method with the optimization framework to handle outliers in radar readings is combined.

A catalog of video records of the 2013 Chelyabinsk superbolide
Jiří Borovička,Lukáš Shrbený,Pavel Kalenda,N. Loskutov,Peter Brown,Pavel Spurný,William J. Cooke,Rhiannon C. Blaauw,Danielle E. Moser,Aaron Kingery +9 more
TL;DR: The Chelyabinsk superbolide of February 15, 2013, was caused by the atmospheric entry of a ~19 m asteroid with a kinetic energy of 500 kT TNT just south of the city of Chelyabainsk, Russia as discussed by the authors.
Improving Photometric Calibration of Meteor Video Camera Systems.
TL;DR: Improvements to the linearity response of the MEO's standard meteor video cameras and synthetic magnitudes in the EX bandpass for reference stars allow for zero-points accurate to 0.05 - 0.10 mag in both filtered and unfiltered camera observations with no evidence for lingering systematics.
