| Abstract: | Fragmentation of an ablating meteoroid is a process that depends on the physical constitution of the body and the internal
structure. These parameters are thought to control temperature gradients within the body. Phase signatures from the University
of Canterbury’s AMOR facility are shown to be able to resolve instances in which meteors are subject to gross macro-fragmentation
where the meteoroid body disrupts into a few discrete components. |
