Application of an Equilibrium Vaporization Model to the Ablation of Chondritic and Achondritic Meteoroids.

We modeled equilibrium vaporization of chondritic and achondritic materials using the MAGMA code. We calculated both instantaneous and integrated element abundances of Na, Mg, Ca, Al, Fe, Si, Ti, and K in chondritic and achondritic meteors. Our results are qualitatively consistent with observations of meteor spectra. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
