Meteoroids: Fragmentation

Scientific paper

During the 2001 Leonids storm over Japan, several short-duration "outbursts" in which more than 20-40 meteors appeared in a few seconds, have been reported. The meteors in these events were extremely localized within a few hundred km, which indicate the recent fragmentation of meteoroids during the orbital motion in the interplanetary space. Considering the extent of the spatial distribution, the fragmentation should have occurred at around the perihelion passage of the meteoroids just before encountering the Earth. This suggests the possible existence of the glue, which connects several refractory particles in fresh meteoroids.
