Abstract
Improved optical instrumentation has resulted in high time-resolution spectrograms of the luminosity associated with ultraspeed aluminum pellets. These data indicate that in many cases the light is emitted in two phases: (1) the ballistic, or air shock, characterized by atomic metal lines and a strong continuum; (2) AlO bands that appear about 150 μsec after the metal is ablated from the pellet.
