Scientific paper

A special case ablation model is developed for those Leonid meteors whose light curves show a linear rise to maximum brightness but no decreasing brightness branch thereafter. It is shown that the meteoroid mass loss rate must increase exponentially to explain such light curves, and it is suggested that this is indicative of an ablation mode in which the meteoroid crumbles and fragments into smaller and smaller components as it descends through the Earth's upper atmosphere.
