Thanks Stanley. We need a good laugh to keep warm here. It is 16 degrees today (that's -9 Celsius) And the high of the day was 18!! Good thing I didn't have much snow to shovel. Anne M. Black _http://www.impactika.com/_ (http://www.impactika.com/) _impact...@aol.com_

[meteorite-list] Are there metals at the cores of larger comets?

Hi - Has anyone here seen caarbonaceous chondrites with high metal content, or PGE meteorites with carbon? Does anyone here know of any spectral work done on dead cores of formerly active comets? E.P. Grondine Man and Impact in the Americas

[meteorite-list] How much survives entry?

Does anyone have a rough estimate on how much material, say ordinary chondrite, is lost during entry? 80% converted to light, heat and dust? 90%? 99.9%? Thanks -- Richard Kowalski http://fullmoonphotography.net IMCA #1081 __

Re: [meteorite-list] How much survives entry?

I think that you can usually figure that 95-99% of the mass of parent meteoroid is lost. That seems pretty consistent with the estimated mass of observed fireballs compared with the mass of recovered meteorites. Obviously, what is typical is pretty loosely defined; I don't doubt that there

Re: [meteorite-list] How much survives entry?

Hi list, How is this calculated and how do we know the 90% to 95% loss calculation is accurate without knowing the mass of the asteroid before entry and after recovery of every piece that lands on the surface of our planet? Has there ever been such a case? Regards, Eric Wichman Meteorites

Re: [meteorite-list] How much survives entry?

There are recoveries following instrumentally recorded fireballs. Initial mass is estimated in different ways, depending on the data available. This includes seismic and infrasound data as well as intensity profiles, either from cameras or spacecraft. There are several papers which rigorously

Re: [meteorite-list] How much survives entry?

There's a semantic tweak to whatever answer is given. We presume on good evidence that many meteoroids result in no meteorite at all reaching the Earth. That is our assumption, at any rate. In that case, the loss is... 100% So, when we ask how much of an ordinary chondrite is lost, are we

Hello All, For anyone who missed tonight's airing of National Geographic's Naked Science: Countdown to Impact, it is well worth watching any second showings as they did a fantastic job, excellent show!! Here is a link to the web site for info:

Re: [meteorite-list] How much survives entry?

Whether a semantic tweak is required depends on how you look at the question. If you are asking how much of a meteorite's parent body was lost, there's no problem; it's never 100%. It is only in asking how much of a meteoroid survives ablation that you have to deal with the fact that it's
