Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When a mmm-sized dust particle enters into Earth's atmosphere, it is observed as a bright streak, a shooting star. A shooting star is one-time event and, in most cases, the dust is completely vaporized. Thus the original size and composition is not easy to estimate only from ground-based observation. In this study we constructed a laboratory experimental system to simulate shooting stars by using a two-stage light gas gun. In this system the simulated shooting star is observed by high-speed camera with the frame rate of 1 mega frames/s, and simultaneously the light from the shooting star is analysed by a spectrograph with the wavelength resolution of 5.7 nm. Our laboratory experimental system will provide a fundamental data-set which relate the ground-based observational result to the original size and composition of the shooting star.
