Observations of the Camelopardalid meteor shower in May 2014 were obtained with six different sets of cameras, with limiting meteor magnitudes varying from −2M to +7M. Shower fluxes were calculated for each of the systems, from which the mass index of the shower was found to be 2.17 ± 0.04. Faint meteors in the shower were found to be stronger than average, ablating at lower altitudes than meteors...
Nine fragmenting, faint meteors (peak magnitude ∼+1, mass <10-4kg) were observed with the Canadian Automated Meteor Observatory (CAMO). Fragments for eight of the nine meteors exhibited significant transverse motion, perpendicular to the meteor velocity. Transverse speeds of the order 100ms-1 were observed, while models of aerodynamic loading predict speeds of the order 0.5ms-1. Acceleration of...
