Radiation and ablation of large meteoroids decelerated in the Earth's atmosphere
Abstract
Radiative fluxes caused by the impacts of asteroidal and cometary bodies of various sizes (20-100 m) were determined by systematic modeling. Scaling relations, which allow to estimate energy of thermal radiation, ablation efficiency and to approximate radiative fluxes on the Earth's surface are suggested.
