Leonid meteor ablation, energy exchange and trail morphology

Leonid meteor ablation, energy exchange and trail morphology [electronic resource]

This paper describes theoretical model studies of the interaction of Leonid meteoroids with the earth's atmosphere. Subject to some modest-to-strenuous approximations we compute the rates of ablation and deceleration, energy deposition, and terminal altitudes of the meteors as functions of thei...
