Thermal explosions of cometary nuclei in the Earth's atmosphere
It is shown that the meteoroid explosion over the Mediterranean is likely generated by a comet body, the initial mass equal to about 7·10^8 g. This follows from certain authors of [12] flare energy equal to 26 kilotons of TNT. The authors suggest that this energy refers to the height of maximum dece...

| description | It is shown that the meteoroid explosion over the Mediterranean is likely generated by a comet body, the initial mass equal to about 7·10^8 g. This follows from certain authors of [12] flare energy equal to 26 kilotons of TNT. The authors suggest that this energy refers to the height of maximum deceleration. At a speed of 20.3 km/s, adopted by the authors, body weight at this height is 5·10^8 g, and during re-entry, it was about 7·10^8 g. |
