Scientific paper

It is suggested that the luminescence of a meteor trail is conditioned by the formation of superthermal electrons, with subsequent excitation of the trail components (meteor ablation products and atmospheric components) by electron impact. It is shown that an electron temperature in the trail of 6000 K and greater is required for the generation of luminescence. Comparison with rocket sounding data indicates that the electron-heating mechanism is associated with the formation mechanism of ionospheric irregularities.
