Abstract

Context.It has been thought that fast-moving meteor spectra consist of only two excitation temperature regimes: the 5000 K main component and another hot component at 10 000 K. This belief does not always satisfy observed spectra due to the lack of sufficient physical correlation among derived excitation temperatures, observed fluxes, upper energy levels (Eu), and Einstein A coefficients (Aul) of each spectral emission line.
