(meteorobs) IR Signature of Meteors in the near IR

[Ed Majden]

	For the IR signature of meteors do a search with "Google" for "IR  
meteor spectra".  There are several references for this.  An early  
paper by Peter M. Millman and Ian Halliday can be found at:  http:// 
adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1959AJ.....64Q.342M  This was based on using  
extended red end films at night but it gives you the lines present in  
the near-ir region.  I am not convinced that filtering will really  
aid in capturing daylight fireballs.  I'm pretty sure this would have  
been done by meteor scientists if this was practical to do during  
daylight.
