CHON particles in interplanetary space
Abstract
The hypothesis that meteors with anomalously great heights are produced by organic meteoroids is confirmed. The energy of evaporation is determined as well as the temperature at which intensive evaporation begins. It is suggested that organic particles should constitute about half of the meteoroids in the Draconid stream.
