ZD$_{\rm E}$ is the zenith distance of the radiant at the end point of the atmospheric trajectory, $v_{\infty}$ is the initial velocity, $M_{\max}$ is the maximum absolute magnitude, $m_{\rm inf}$ is the initial photometric mass, PE is the coefficient that describes the empirical end height criterion and designates the type of fireball (Ceplecha & McCrosky 1976). p is the dynamic pressure (see explanation in Sect. 5) and LC is the type of light curve (more details in Sect. 6). Values of individual entries are given with an accuracy of one or two last digits.
