Overview
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.

Author Information
Gianpiero Colonna is a senior researcher at the National Research Council (CNR), in Italy. His research activities are focused on plasma modeling, state-to-state kinetics, thermodynamic and transport properties of plasmas, and modelling plasma plume produced by ns laser pulses. He co-edited the book Plasma modeling: methods and applications in the IOP Series in Plasma Physics. Mario Capitelli is a full professor of inorganic chemistry at the University of Bari, in Italy. His research is prominent in different fields, including dynamics of elementary processes, plasma physics, chemistry, laser-plasma interaction and aerothermodynamics. Capitelli has contributed to more than 500 publications and has authored and edited a selection of plasma-related books. He received the Laurea Honoris Causa of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow in 2013, and the title of Docteur Honoris Causa of the Université Paris 13, in Paris in 2015. Annarita Laricchiuta is a researcher at the National Research Council (CNR), in Italy. Her research areas focus on the theoretical calculation of dynamical data for elementary processes in plasmas among other fields of plasma research.
