Abstract:
In the last few years, the traditional detection of the UV fluorescence yield of Extended Air Showers (EAS) produced by Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) by ground observatories, is completed by using of space-based UV telescopes. As such, the Tracking Ultraviolet Setup (TUS) detector was launched on April 28, 2016 as a part of the scientific payload of the Lomonosov satellite and recorded data for more than one year. During its operation, for short periods of time, TUS was switched in the meteor observation mode that allows the detection of luminous moving event with a time resolution of 6.6 ms. In the present contribution, we report the preliminary analysis of the data taken in meteor/nuclearite mode above South-East Europe.
