Infos

Hypersonic Meteoroid Entry Physics gives an overview of meteoroid atmospheric entry. It includes meteoroid observation in the outer
space, the recovery of meteors on the earth surface and meteorite chemical
analysis. For astrophysicists and aerospace engineering communities, this book will
deliver a comprehensive overview of meteoroid atmospheric entry.

---

Hypersonic Meteoroid Entry Physics provides a fascinating overview of meteoroid atmospheric entry and covers meteoroid observations
in outer space; the description of the chemical–physical phenomena during atmospheric
entry; recovery of the meteor on the Earth’s surface and meteorite chemical
analysis.

The book, based on the lectures given during the
HyMEP course held in Erice in 2017, is addressed to students and researchers
with an interest in plasma chemistry, astrophysics and aerospace engineering.
It offers a comprehensive
overview of the present status of the investigation on meteoroid entry physics
while merging the knowledge of astrophysicists and the aerospace engineering communities.
