Scientific paper

In this paper the authors present a statistical evaluation of the atmospheric trajectories of the 413 precision-reduced meteors, doubly photographed with the Super-Schmidt cameras in New Mexico, for which orbital data have been previously published and analyzed. The authors have studied the dependence of heights, lengths, decelerations, and magnitudes on such basic parameters as velocity, angle of incidence, and mass, as well as on derived parameters such as the ablation coefficient and the fragmentation index; the latter are in turn related to the other geometric and physical characteristics, including the phenomena of wake and terminal blending. A comparison with classical meteor theory shows again and again that fragmentation is the most important factor in causing the wide discrepancies between theory and observation.
