Radioseismology as a new method of investigations of meteor streams on the Moon and planets

الأصل · EN

Radioseismology is based on registration and interpretation of radio emission of seismic origin. Non-thermal radio emission of the Moon was detectedat 13 and 21 cm on July 30 - August 2, 1999. Strong oscillations of the non-thermal lunar radio flux at 25 mm were detected during the leonid meteor shower on November 17-18, 2000. The time of maxima of oscillations does not contradict theoretical predictions about the existence of three maxima of the Leonid shower on the Moon. These results can be explained as the detection of lunar radio emission of seismic origin caused by meteoroid impacts. The implications of the radioseismic method for determination of the intensity of meteor streams on the Moon are described.
