Scientific paper

Absolute magnitudes, photometric masses, trajectory data, and light curves have been obtained for a sample of 17 meteors from the 1984 Orionid shower. The meteors have an absolute television magnitude of +4.8 mag and a mean vertical trail length of 6.9 km. The results indicate that there is significant variation in either physical structure or chemical composition from one meteoroid to another. The radiant and observed flux are in agreement with previous observations. An expression for the cumulative zenithal flux of particles is derived. It is concluded that the present meteoroids are typical of shower meteoroids.
