THE VOLUME DENSITY OF RADAR ECHOES FROM METEOR TRAILS, IN THE CASE OF UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION OF THE HELIOCENTRIC RADIANTS
Abstract
General formulas are derived, which express the volume density of the reflection points of the meteor trails, as well as the volume density of the echoes revealed by a radar, in terms of the heliocentric velocity distribution. Then, as an application, the volume density of the reflection points is evaluated, in the case of uniform distribution of heliocentric radiants. The expression of the volume density of the readar echoes is presented. (Author)
