Scientific paper

Meteor spectra consisting of Fe radiation, but without D lines of Na I, have, in the past, been attributed to iron-nickel meteoroids. One such case, a meteor observed and analyzed by Ceplecha, is characterized by a light curve with an abnormally steep rising branch. Attempts made to justify the observed shape and magnitude of the light curve with various ablation models, consistent with a nonfragmenting iron meteoroid, are unsuccessful. It is possible that the sodium-free meteoroids are derived from a source other than that which produces iron-nickel meteorites.
