NAZOV / TITLE :

Interstellar meteors – search for possible causes
of errors in the processing of raw data

ABSTRAKT / ABSTRACT :

It is not unusual to find hyperbolic orbits in meteor
databases. However, the challenge begins once the attempt
is made to identify interstellar meteors with true hyperbolic
orbits. Generally, the presence of interstellar meteors is not
possible to prove or disprove because of the lack of quality
data and realistic errors. In many cases, the errors are
underestimated or the available databases do not contain them at all.
In the hopes to identify and investigate the possible causes
of errors and get a realistic look at the error estimation,
we will first look at the processing of raw data acquired during
the DIMS (Dark matter and Interstellar Meteoroid Study) project,
one of the aims of which is to search for interstellar meteors.
