Romanian ALLSKY Network---a systematic approach for meteor detection
Résumé
Romanian amateur astronomers have an important and long-term activity of visual observations of meteors and meteor showers. Records and reports to the International Meteor Organization are mainly due to visual observations on Romanian territory. Our main objective is to deploy a network of stations which will monitor meteor phenomena. The Romanian All-Sky Network (acronym ROAN) will be able to monitor meteors in both visual and radio domain, based on the infrastructure developed on the ongoing concept and technology inside a consortium lead by Elcos Project Ltd. Several scientific approaches will be studied, such as detection of simultaneous events on two/multiple optical detectors, establishing the radio Doppler speed of meteors, targeting the phase of dark-flight of the object, and matching the optical and radio tracks into one single event.
