Scientific paper

The activity of the Leonid meteor shower strongly depends on its parent comet. The comet 55P/Tempel- Tuttle passed through the perihelion in 1998 and subsequently strong meteor storms occurred in 1998 to 2002 [2]. After this period the activity decreased again but two other small outbursts were observed in 2006 and 2009 [4]. Since in all of these cases our planet encountered stream filaments with different time of ejection from the comet, the observations provided us with the opportunity to study properties of the meteoroids with different age. In this paper we investigate atmospheric behavior of Leonid meteors and compare different filaments of this meteor shower.
