Perseids light curve

Post by tilvi » Thu Dec 23, 2004 7:36 pm

Below are the attached Perseids 2004 light curves (with error bars), we wish to present for the poster session for AAS.

Begining with faint meteros to bright meteor light curves.
We can see the light peak change from almost symmetrical light curves for faint meteors to light curves having peak at the Right end of the curve. And I guess this is as expected by the classical theory and Dust-ball model. But here we can see the transition between faint meteor light curves to bright ones. And probably with more meteor data, we should be able to have more accurate transition (interface) point between Classical to Dust -ball model for meteor light curves.
Any comments on these are appreciated.
