During the 2002 Leonid Multi-Instrument Aircraft Campaign, spectra were obtained of two Leonid meteors in the near-IR wavelength range of an InGaAs camera (0.96–1.46 micron). The spectrum contains atomic oxygen and nitrogen lines that are well-described by a typical warm 4400K meteoric plasma emitting in local thermodynamic equilibrium, but the First Positive Δν=0 band of N 2 is weaker than...
We operated identical Low-Light level TV cameras to observe the Leonid 1999 meteor storm, both from a ground-based station in Southern Spain and from the ARIA airplane of the Leonid Multi-Aircraft Campaign. The ground-based camera was pointed to a fixed position about 50° from the zenith, the airborne camera was pointed through a window at 75° from the zenith. During the peak of the Leonid storm,...
