Meteor spectrum components (was Re: (meteorobs) P/2000 G1 & Vgeo)
Sure, Paul, you're exactly right: so one question that then comes to mind is,
"Which predominates in meteor spectra, black-body continuum or emission lines?"
I believe that our own Ed Majden, who is also coordinator of the American Meteor
Society's Spectrographic Program, might be able to provide some perspective on
this? Ed, looking at some of the meteor spectrographs you've published on the
Web, I get the impression that there *is* an observable continuum component to
meteor spectra - but also that the lines seem to the more intense component?
BTW, to view some of Ed's spectra images, or to learn more about the AMS
Spectrographic Program, see the following on the AMS Web site:

PS: I got in some observing this weekend which I'm dying to report! First Teff
in a couple of months in fact... Hopefully will get out a report this week.
Clear skies all!
