Meteor storms and showers with the IMEX model
Résumé
The Interplanetary Meteoroid Environment for Exploration (IMEX) provides a model of meteoroid streams in the inner solar system. It is primarily designed to provide hazard estimations for interplanetary spacecraft. However, such a model is also suited for studying the impact of recently created meteoroid streams at the Earth. It also allows us to study meteor storms, and to automatically determine the streams that can be observed at the Earth at any time. Here we describe the application to Leonid meteor storms of 1999-2002, and provide the results of the automatic stream determination for 2015.
