Scientific paper

We present a set of Leonid fireball observations gathered by the Southern Saskatchwan Fireball Array. In the time interval November 18.08 to 18.30 UT, a total of 251 Leonid and 2 sporadic meteors brighter than magnitude -2 were detected by an all-sky video camera system operated at Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The peak fireball rate occurred between 10h15m and 10h30m UT on November 18. We deduce a population index of r=1.8+-0.4 for the entire time interval of our observations, indicative of there being a relatively large proportion of bright meteors. We also present a set of 13 high-time resolution (data spacing at 1/120 s) light curves recorded with an all-sky radiometer.
