A large meteorite fall in southern Germany on April 6, 2002 was captured by camera stations of the European Fireball Network (EN) which routinely monitors the night sky over central Europe. From analysis of the images, a prediction on the geographic location of the meteorite strewn field could be made. Following systematic ground searches in difficult high-mountain terrain, three fragments of a rare EL6 enstatite chondrite were recovered during search campaigns in the summers of 2002 and 2003… Expand

Determination of strewn fields for meteorite falls
When an object enters the atmosphere it may be detected as a meteor. A bright meteor, called a fireball, may be a sign of a meteorite fall. Instrumentally observed meteorite falls provide unique… Expand
Evidence for a meteoritic origin of the September 15, 2007, Carancas crater
On September 15th, 2007, around 11:45 local time in Peru, near the Bolivian border, the atmospheric entry of a meteoroid produced bright lights in the sky and intense detonations. Soon after, a… Expand
Orbital Evolution of Příbram and Neuschwanstein

The Pribram, Lost City, Innisfree, and Neuschwanstein falls: An analysis of the atmospheric trajectories
To date, several meteorites have been found for which their flight in the atmosphere was recorded by special fireball camera networks. Because of this, a thorough analysis of the instrumentally… Expand
A model of the motion of the Nneuschwanstein bolide in the atmosphere

Exploration of a Halley-type comet and its debris through meteor observations and modelling
This work focuses on the cm-to-mm sized dust particles of the Perseid meteoroid stream, which is well known to originate from the parent comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. The main objective of the thesis is… Expand
Very low strengths of interplanetary meteoroids and small asteroids

Meteorites are precious extra-terrestrial samples. The circumstances of any meteorite fall are therefore of great interest to planetary scientists. However, as these events are very rare, the… Expand
The atmospheric trajectory and heliocentric orbit of the Neuschwanstein meteorite fall on April 6, 2002

Photographic observations of Neuschwanstein, a second meteorite from the orbit of the Příbram chondrite
TLDR
The bolide's heliocentric orbit is exceptional as it is almost identical to the orbit of Příbram, suggesting that a ‘stream’ of meteoritic objects in an Earth-crossing orbit is discovered, which implies a heterogeneous stream. Expand
