Orbital elements of 45 meteorites: an atlas
Abstract
Radiants and orbital elements of 45 falling meteorites are given in graphical form. This information was obtained on the basis of observations of the atmospheric trajectories of meteorites and the range of possible entry velocities of meteorite forming bodies into the earth's atmosphere (11.2 to 22 km/sec). The atlas is designed for specialists in the field of meteorites, cosmogony and astrophysics of the solar system.
