The properties of cm-sized iron meteoroids
Original language description
We present atmospheric trajectories, light curves, and heliocentric orbits of these iron fireballs. The orbits are asteroidal, or Sun approaching, and show diversity similar to those of mm-sized iron meteoroids. The inclinations vary from nearly zero up to approximate to 70 degrees. The maximum brightness of all fireballs was between magnitude -6 and -10, corresponding to meteoroid diameters about 1-4 cm. Seven fireballs were classified as type IIIA, and two fireballs were classified as type IIIB in the classification of Ceplecha and McCrosky (1976), pointing, at least formally, to fragile bodies comparable in strength to cometary meteoroids.
