assistance on orbits. If anyone can provide some assistance, please 
contact Myriam directly.

Thanks!

Dear Mark,
thank you for including me in the group =)
I found the list while I was looking for information on determining 
meteoroid
orbits from meteors detected by radar. I am trying to know how is that done
once you have velocity, altitude and deceleration (mmm.... not trivial as
fitting a conic).
Hopefully I will have access to data from a local radar and I\'m 
interested in
discriminate the asteroidal from the cometary meteors.
If you can help me with that I will appreciate very much. I have some
information like classic papers (but not all of them) and few of the newer
ones, but not all the papers are downloadable (like in ADSABS).
And yes, I would like a copy of the NAMN Guide.

Cheers,

Myriam
