Abstract

We carried out a detailed study of a bright meteor detected over the Khamar-Daban mountain range on August 12, 2020 at 14:37:35 UT by two automatic video monitoring stations functioning on the territory of the Tunka Valley (Republic of Buryatia) as part of the SkyLine project. The astro- and photometric parameters of the event were determined, its belonging to a specific meteor stream was established, and the spatial parameters of the trajectory with a projection onto the terrain were recovered. The data on the main physical characteristics of the meteor particle were obtained, including the geocentric velocity and orbital parameters. The chemical composition of the meteoroid was analyzed from the spectral data of the track. The potential possibility of using meteor phenomena as a tool to study the upper layers of the atmosphere was considered.
