Scientific paper

Radio observations of the 1995 Lyrid meteor shower by a forward scatter system on the baseline Bologna-Lecce (Italy) are analyzed and discussed. The 1995 Lyrids have shown a distinct maximum only for overdense echoes (echo duration greater than 1 s) with the peak rate on April 23, 03 UT (solar longitude 31.88 deg, eq. 1950). The flux of underdense echoes (duration less than 1 s) appears to be very variable; the smallest particles (less than 0.07 s) follow the trend of the overdense stream activity with an exceptional peak at solar longitude 29 deg (April 20) and can be ascribed to some kind of fragmentation.
