摘要:

快速采样光度测量对于表征火球及其破碎事件至关重要,这些事件与陨石内部结构相关。由于需要高达10个恒星视星等的动态范围,导致操作复杂性和成本增加,准确测量仍具挑战性。我们开发了一种覆盖整个天空的相机系统,最高可达每秒500帧,配备新颖的检测局部自动亮度控制。定制软件通过瞬态检测和感兴趣区域保存实现高数据吞吐量,通过实时光度测量。两个实地部署验证了光度精度,与传统每秒30帧的相机相比,并展示了成功捕捉视星等-15的明亮火球,且饱和度极低。该系统在视星等-3至-17之间实现了有效的动态范围,为大多数火球捕获了最小饱和度的光变曲线。成功的半经验破碎分析验证了其为详细物理建模提供数据的能力。该经过验证的系统的主要应用将是作为全球火球观测站下一代仪器的核心组成部分。目的是在混合观测站中部署,与专门的高分辨率天体测量相机同时运行。这种配置将使网络能够同时捕获精确的轨道和坠落线计算轨迹数据,并获取高时间分辨率的完整、未饱和的高动态范围光变曲线,用于详细物理分析,结合两种系统的优点。

英文摘要:

Fast sampling photometry is essential for characterising fireballs and their fragmentation episodes which link to the meteoroid internal structure. Accurate measurements remain challenging due to the large required dynamic range of up to 10 stellar magnitudes driving up operational complexity and cost. We developed an all-sky camera system operating at up to 500 frames per second featuring a novel Detection Localised Auto-brightness Control. Custom software manages high data throughput via transient detection and region-of-interest saving with real-time photometry. Two field deployments validate photometric accuracy against conventional 30 frames per second cameras and demonstrate the successful capture of a bright magnitude -15 fireball with minimal saturation. The system achieves an effective dynamic range between apparent magnitudes -3 and -17 capturing minimally saturated light curves for most fireballs. A successful semi-empirical fragmentation analysis verifies its ability to provide data for detailed physical modelling. The primary application for this validated system will be as a core component of the Global Fireball Observatory's next-generation instrumentation. The intention is to deploy it in a hybrid observatory, operating alongside a dedicated high-resolution astrometric camera. This configuration will allow the network to simultaneously capture precise trajectory data for orbit and fall-line calculations and acquire complete, unsaturated high dynamic range light curves at high temporal resolution for detailed physical analysis, combining the strengths of both systems.
