Spectrum and orbit of a november leonis minorids bolide observed in 2011

Abstract

The SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN) is performing a continuous monitoring of meteor and fireball activity over Spain and neighbouring areas. Nowadays, we operate 25 meteor observing stations which employ different detection and recording techniques. Optimal weather conditions in our country in comparison to other areas in Europe favour our fireball monitoring and meteor spectroscopy campaigns and, as a result of this, we are obtaining helpful data about poorly known meteoroid streams. In this context, we analyze here a bolide belonging to the November Leonis Minorids shower (NLM) recorded in 2011. Its emission spectrum is also presented.
