Scientific paper

From an analysis of experimental data based on observations of faint meteors of approximately 7-8 magnitude, the following results are obtained. The initial altitude for intense vaporization of meteors is practically independent of their speed and is about 102 km. The length of the ionization curve for meteors with these magnitudes depends on the speed of the particles, and increases linearly with decreasing speed. The atmospheric density corresponding to the altitude for the maximum rate of vaporization for approximately 7-8 magnitude meteors varies linearly with the particle speed.
