Multiple station meteor observations: an international program for studying minor showers exploring IMO potentiality

International audience; The International Meteor Organization (IMO) should promote between its members and collaborators the development of multi-instrument campaigns in order to study minor meteor showers. It is well known that amateurs can contribute to professional research by participating in the atmospheric monitoring of the night sky for meteor and fireball recordings. The determination of atmospheric trajectories and heliocentric orbits of meteoroids is a valuable contribution to different research fields such as: orbital dynamics, non-gravitational effects, interplanetary processes (collisions, fragmentation, etc...), meteoroids' physical properties and atmospheric interaction. At the same time, these studies can be complemented with meteor spectroscopy that can provide valuable information on the meteoroid (and parent body) chemical composition and the effects of space weathering.
