The field of ultraviolet astronomy offers unequalled scientific
promise yet has not been blessed with a multitude of space missions
(as has been the case for other spectral domains). This book
contains a distillation of the community's views on the topic and
the desires for future observational facilities. As such, it
provides the most up-to-date information on the topic of
ultraviolet astronomy from a very broad point of view, presenting a
compilation of lectures given at a specialist meeting and combining
theoretical arguments with observational reports and detailed
instrumental information.
This text should appeal to all researchers who have an interest in
Leonid showers. It contains over 40 research papers that present
some of the first observational results of the November 1999 Leonid
meteor storm, the first storm observed by modern observing
techniques. The book is a glimpse of the large amount of
information obtained during NASA's Leonid Multi-Instrument Aircraft
Campaign and groundbased campaigns throughout the world. It
provides an overview on the state of meteor shower research for any
professional researcher or amateur meteor observer interested in
studies of meteors and meteoroids and their relation to comets, the
origin of life on Earth, the satellite impact hazard issue, and
upper atmosphere studies of neutral atom chemistry, the formation
of meteoric debris, persistent trains, airglow, noctilucent clouds,
sprites and elves.
