Scientific paper
Thermoluminescence (TL) and cathodoluminescence (CL) in meteorites are discussed. Glow curves of TL versus temperature are provided for an ordinary chondrite, showing maximum luminescence at about 200 deg C and a second peak at about 350 deg C, and for an aubrite, showing several peaks and colors ranging from blue to red. The production of TL is described in terms of the energy imparted to the crystals in meteoroids. The use of CL grains to date meteorites, and of TL to provide a means to estimate how long ago a meteorite fell are also discussed.
