Physics

Scientific paper

From simultaneous visual-video observations, it follows that visual observers systematically underestimate the magnitude of a meteor by about half a magnitude or more. The error seems to be independent of meteor brightness and angular velocity. The hypothesis that the difference is due to the fact that with the video system the maximum brightness of the meteor is recorded, whereas the naked eye would tend to "average" the brightness of the meteor over the duration that the meteor was visible, could neither be confirmed nor rejected.
