Dependence of the Height of Disappearance for Small Meteoric Bodies on Their Parameters / Popelenskaya N.V. // Vestnik Moskovskogo Universiteta. Seriya 1. Matematika. Mekhanika. 2010. № 4. P. 63-65 [Moscow Univ. Mech. Bulletin. Vol. 72, N 2, 2017. P. 90-93].
A new method for determining the parameters of small meteoric bodies by the height of disappearance on entering the Earth's atmosphere is proposed. The heat transfer processes in front of a body are taken into account. Some numerical results for a number of small meteoric bodies observed by the Canadian camera network are discussed.
Key words:
meteoric body, meteoroid, extra-atmospheric mass, height of disappearance,
chondrite, stone.
