NETWORK RESEARCHERS
Our team consists of researchers interested in an interdisciplinary work on meteors and meteorites. Astrophysicists, chemists
and astronomers are working as a whole to improve our knowledge in this interesting field.
The Network is fully open to the participation of other researchers and also to amateur people. The most important research lines
covered by our team and the contact person are:
Jordi Llorca (UPC): Meteorite analysis.
Josep M. Trigo-Rodriguez (UCLA): Determination of meteoroid orbits and spectroscopy of meteors and fireballs.
Alberto Castro-Tirado (LAEFF-INTA e IAA-CSIC): CCD techniques applied to meteor fields.
Jose L. Ortiz (IAA-CSIC): Links between minor bodies and meteoroids.
Jose A. Docobo (USC): Detection of fireballs and superbolides.
AMATEUR PARTICIPATION IN OUR PHOTOGRAPHIC NETWORKS
Our network try to promove the active participation of amateur astronomers at different levels.
During the 90's decade this field was nearly unknow in our country, although it not requires complicate instruments.
Our observation campaigns are open to the amateur participation and, of fact, they allow introduce the people in
this research field.
To prepare the different stations to analyze the meteor activity around the year we count amb the valuable
participation of a lot of amateur astronomers. Each people contribute with its time and intruments to obtain
the images that other people will analize to obtain the astrometric measurements. In order to participate in our
network please contact with SPMN
SPMN stations in Huelva and Sevilla. The mean starter center is the El Arenosillo Astronomical Center (LAEFF/INTA)
SPMN stations in Valencia and Castelló.
