Scientific paper

Radar observations of the Lyrid meteor stream made at the Ondřejov Observatory in 1980 - 1985, are analyzed and discussed from the viewpoint of determining the mass distribution exponent for overdense echoes in the range of 0.4 - 50 s. The mass exponent proved to be almost constant over the whole range of echo durations with s ≡ 1.58. The contribution of larger particles, as compared with other meteor streams, was found to be more significant for the Lyrids. The almost constant value of s indicates a still active contribution of fresh cometary material to the stream.
