Scientific paper

The formation of large luminscent regions (comas) around cosmic bodies (e.g., meteoroids) is investigated. Meteoroid observation data are compared with ionospheric rocket sounding data, and it is concluded that the luminescence phenomenon is associated with the heating of ambient electrons with subsequent excitation of atmospheric components by electron impact. It is hypothesized that the heating mechanism of ambient electrons is associated with the formation of sporadic ionospheric layers.
