A catalog of video records of the 2013 Chelyabinsk superbolide

On February 15, 2013, a ∼19 m asteroid with a kinetic energy of 500 kT TNT exploded over the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia. This rare event probably occurs several times per century, but mostly over uninhabited regions. The large number of videos of the Chelyabinsk superbolide are available, after having been assembled by the authors. It forms a unique database for detailed work on the event. These are available on /http://meteor.asu.cas.cz/Chelyabinsk/.
