Physical Parameters of Iron Meteoroids
Abstract
This dataset provides posterior distribution of the physical characteristics of 15 iron-rich meteoroids inferred via dynamic nested sampling from meteor observations. All the simulations runs are organized in 3 different folders based on the three luminous-efficiency (Tau) assumptions used (3%, 0.3%, 0.08%). For events with CAMO narrow-field tracking, wake plots (observed vs. best-guess lag/deceleration) and available spectra are included. Preferred solutions are in the Results folder and they satisfy both an observational fit criterion and a melting-temperature admissibility test (two events likely require an intermediate luminous efficiency).
