Updates in digital meteor spectroscopy
Marko Šegon
Meteor spectroscopy has been an active field of research in the Czech Republic since 1960 when the first single-station system of analogue cameras was set up at the Ondrejov Observatory. That system, operational until 2018, is now replaced by 12 stations of the European Fireball Network - each equipped with two digital Canon EOS 6D cameras. The switch to digital cameras has allowed the acquisition of a significantly larger volume of data spanning a wider spectral range, extending to the near-infrared region. However, it has also been accompanied by a substantial drop in spectral resolution, necessitating an improved method of data analysis. Several aspects of the analysis process were already discussed in a presentation given at last year’s IMC. Since then, additional steps have been implemented in the software used for the analysis, and new discoveries have been made, shedding light on some of the previously posed questions. These advancements will be the central topic of the talk.
