Title: Orbit if the Glanerbrug meteorite revised
Authors: Langbroek, M.

This paper revisits the orbit of the Glanerbrug LL5 meteorite. Based on large number of eyewitness observations, a trajectory, speed and approximate orbit were published in 1999 (Jenniskens et al., 1992a,b). It appears that a human error was made in keying in radiant parameters at that time: the listed radiant and orbit are not in agreement. New revised orbital elements are given. An association of Glanerbrug with Pribram and Newschwanstein has previously been suggested (Langbroek, 2001; Spurny et al., 2003). The new, revised orbit compares less well to the Pribram/Newschwanstein orbits, with a Drummond D' criterion value 0.13.
