Results of the least-square fit on the τ-values in relation to the computed pre-atmospheric mass, Me, for varying datasets.
| Subset | Number of events | τ − Me relation |
|---|---|---|
| Complete dataset | 281 |  |
| Complete dataset, ρAll = 2500 kg m−3 | 281 |  |
| Geminids | 33 |  |
| Perseids | 23 |  |
| Final height, hfinal < 70 km | 149 |  |
| Final height, hfinal < 55 km | 104 |  |
| Deceleration, (ve − vfinal)∕ve > 80% | 124 |  |
| Continuum-flow regime, Kn < 0.01 | 93 |  |
| Pre-debiased dataset, (ve − vfinal)∕ve > 80%, hfinal < 70 km, and Kn < 0.01 | 54 |  |
| Pre-debiased dataset, (ve − vfinal)∕ve > 80%, hfinal < 70 km, and Kn < 0.01, with ρSporadic = 1000 kg m−3 | 54 |  |
| Pre-debiased dataset, (ve − vfinal)∕ve > 80%, hfinal < 70 km, and Kn < 0.01, with ρSporadic = 2000 kg m−3 | 54 |  |
Notes. The results for the weighted least squares method are provided, for which the values are weighted by the relative error of the value. If not other mentioned the assumed ρ-values are as explained in Sect. 4.
