摘要: Abstract Observations of the Camelopardalid meteor shower in May 2014 were obtained with six different sets cameras, limiting magnitudes varying from − 2 M to +7 . Shower fluxes calculated for each systems, which mass index was found be 2.17 ± 0.04. Faint meteors stronger than average, ablating at lower altitudes same speed recorded system, while brightest had higher ablation heights and therefore weaker typical meteors. These findings can explained if large Camelopardalids are weak agglomerations more refractory grains, easily disrupted space keep supplied small material depleted material.
