Description

The book Meteors and meteorites is a reference work for both experts and laymen in this field. It presents the latest knowledge related to the meteoric phenomenon and analyzes the role played by the latest advances in CCD and CMOS technology in the study of fireballs and meteors.

The book has a fundamentally practical approach, since it describes the main techniques that both professional and amateur astronomers can use to detect these interesting astronomical phenomena. In addition, it is the first work that makes available to the public the spectroscopic techniques that provide information on the composition of the rocks that impact the Earth's atmosphere.

Author

José María Madiedo: Doctor in Astrophysics and Doctor in Chemistry, is a recognized expert in these subjects. He has been a pioneer in Spain in the development and implementation of automatic systems for the detection of meteors using high-sensitivity CCD video cameras and for the analysis of their chemical properties using spectroscopy techniques. He has installed and operates ten robotic meteor detection stations at various observatories, including Calar Alto and the Sierra Nevada Observatory. He also operates the MIDAS system, which performs telescope detection of rock impacts on the Moon. Within the framework of the MIDAS Project, he has detected the largest impact flash recorded on the Moon to date, an event that occurred on September 11, 2013.

He is one of the researchers who has participated in the recovery and analysis of the Puerto Lapice meteorite, a rock from the Vesta asteroid that fell in Castilla La Mancha in May 2007. His research work is complemented by his role as a science communicator, he contributes to giving Learn about the importance of meteorites for science through conferences, courses, exhibitions and documentaries. In 2011 he received the Open Classroom Award for Research awarded by the Faculty of Communication of the University of Seville in recognition of this work.
