Fresnel holography for radio characterization of meteoroid fragmentation

The project aims to create a Python software that helps us better understand meteoroids, which are small celestial objects originating from comets and asteroids. This tool will analyze signals from radio meteor echoes, focusing on how meteoroids break apart when they enter Earth’s atmosphere, a phenomenon known as fragmentation. By comparing the software output with […]
