文摘
- •
We implement a novel and robust approach for meteor orbit determination.
- •
We analyze possible factors perturbing meteoroid orbit and their influence on the derived orbital elements.
- •
We strictly calculate propagation of error based on general rule of covariance transformation.
- •
We test the method using published data and apply it to the selected cases from the Finnish Fireball Network.
- •
We introduce 'Meteor Toolkit' - developed software for meteor orbit computation and make it available as a supplementary resource.
