(meteorobs) x-ray meteors
Miroslav Filipovic, friend of mine from univ. at Sydney (don't know which one)
turned on ROSAT, X-ray satelite, during the night 17.11. to try to observe
meteors in X. And, guess, he succeeded!!! I don't remember seeing reports on
X-ray radiation from meteors ever before!
It was not clear to me from his message, but he might have been able to
determine magnetic field produced by meteor.
Simply exciting!!!

p.s. Werkgroep Meteoren + Petnica Meteor Group team had one more succesfull,
though less exciting night here in Korea. Leonids' ativity significantely
dropped down, to the rate of cca.30-40/hour. In 3h, we saw only two fireballs,
brighter one being -6m.
