A new three-point inverse solution using the α-β model reconstructs meteoroid masses and bulk densities from limited fireball observations, achieving 88% convergence on the EN catalog and producing a continuous density range of 300-4000 kg m^{-3} instead of discrete PE categories.

Dynamical simulations show mm-sized meteoroids impacting Earth below 17 km/s are mostly asteroidal if released in the last 150-200 kyr, with cometary fraction rising above that speed and dominating above 27 km/s.
High-speed imaging of four lunar impact flashes reveals lower variance in initial intensity than total energy and no correlation between them, suggesting decoupled vapor and ejecta phases.
The 2023 February 27 fireball observed with ALIS_4D has a trajectory and orbit consistent with an Apollo-family asteroid parent body, with a computed strewn field along the Kiruna-Gällivare border in northern Sweden.

Consistency between dynamical modeling and photometrically derived masses of fireballs
A new three-point inverse solution using the α-β model reconstructs meteoroid masses and bulk densities from limited fireball observations, achieving 88% convergence on the EN catalog and producing a continuous density range of 300-4000 kg m^{-3} instead of discrete PE categories.
