Excitation cross sections of some meteor atoms
Abstract
The results of laboratory modelings of meteor phenomena have been analyzed for the purpose of determining the effective excitation cross sections for several meteor atoms. A graph is shown of the variation of the cross sections of these atoms with the velocity of the meteor body.
