The calculation of meteor motion parameters based on the single station TV observations
Abstract
Recently, television observations of meteors have steadily replaced photographic observations. Television recording with short exposures is a close analog of a photographic survey with a rotary shutter in the form of a system of set time marks on the meteor track. Each meteoric event is a series of recordings of separate phases of the motion of a meteor. This allows for the use of the geometric method for the determination of the motion parameters of meteors. In this work, a critique is given regarding the concept proposed by K.P. Stanyukovich in 1932-1939, and a mathematical justification of the geometric method of the analysis of the television images of meteors is given.
