(meteorobs) Paper by Molina and Moreno

[David Entwistle]

I haven't read it myself, but I see that there's a new paper published 
in the Astronomical Journal, "Leonid Meteoroids: Reconciliation of 
Cometary Outgassing Theory and Electrophonic Sound Data" by A. Molina 
and F. Moreno.

Abstract:

We determine the size of the largest particles that can be lifted from 
the nuclear surface of the comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle using a classical 
outgassing model. The values obtained are in agreement with the 
estimated lower bound to the diameter of a Leonid meteoroid just capable 
of producing electrophonic sounds. Thus, we reconcile the discrepancy 
found by Beech between the estimated value for the maximum diameter of 
the particle ejected from the parent comet and the size of the 1833 
Leonid meteoroid calculated as necessary to produce electrophonic sound.
