Sodium variation in geminid meteoroids from (3200) phaethon
2020, Planetary and Space ScienceCitation Excerpt :The F-values of atomic Na and Mg of the Geminids are similar to F-values summarized by Koten et al. (2004), which suggest that the Geminid meteors seem to have the strongest meteoroid tensile strength, while the Leonid meteors seem to be the most fragile (Table 4). It has been also suggested that the meteoroid bulk densities vary from 0.4 g cm−3 for Leonids to 3–4 g cm−3 for the Geminids having small, almost zero, porosity (Babadzhanov and Kokhirova, 2009; Spurný, 1994). Fig. 12 shows the relationship between abundances of Na, Mg, Fe and integrated spectral luminosity of the Geminids.
On the age and formation mechanism of the core of the Quadrantid meteoroid stream
2015, IcarusCitation Excerpt :This method, however, is worth for future investigation. In our study, we use the orbital data of eight high-precision Quadrantids, photographed from multiple stations by the Czech part of the European Fireball Network (“EN”), (Spurný, 1994; Spurný et al., 2007). In addition to these bright photographic Quadrantids, we also use five core radar Quadrantids observed by the Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR) (Jones et al., 2005), which sample the smaller members of the stream (milligram size).
