Pressure factors (vertical axis) and sizes of the orbits (horizontal axis) for 15 probable meteorite falls. Each fireball is characterized by three symbols connected with a horizontal line. The vertical bar is plotted at the perihelion distance (q), a symbol encoding the orbital inclination (i) is plotted at the semimajor axis (a), and a colored circle encoding the terminal mass computed from the whole-trajectory fit is plotted at the aphelion distance (Q). Vertical lines indicate the Earth orbit (1 AU), 3:1 resonance with Jupiter (2.5 AU), and the limit for asteroidal orbits according to this paper (4.9 AU). The horizontal line indicates the boundary between the Pf-I and Pf-II classes (0.85). Fireball EN311018_161746 could not be included since it was observed during twilight and has no photometry or Pf. The orbital parameters are q = 0.925 AU, a = 2.45 AU, Q = 3.98 AU, and i = 8.6°.
