Notes. The table lists: the number of detecting stations, the computed meteor’s pre-atmospheric velocity ve, the pre-atmospheric meteoroid’s mass Me, the shape change coefficient α, the mass loss parameter β, the angle between horizon and trajectory γ, as well as the determined maximum absolute magnitude, the derived shape change coefficient μ, and the derived luminous efficiency τ.
