A spherical meteorite of radius 3m enters the Earth's atmosphere at an altitude of 100km and a speed (relative to the Earth) of 30 km/s. The atmosphere slows it down, so when it hits the Earth's surface it is travelling at only 1 km/s. If half of the heat generated as it passes through the atmosphere is absorbed by the meteorite, how hot will it be when it is about to land? ... However, the number I calculated (500,000 K) is correct, as is the discussion that follows it. ...

... The effective temperature Te = 13700+ 500 and the surface gravity log g = 3.75 ? 0.25 were determined. ... It is shown that the ionization equilibrium for Fe I - Fe II and Mn I Hn II lines is maintained only for the second, more cool model. Out of 10 considered elements the largest overabundance was found for Mn (2.0 dex ), Ga (4.5 dex) and Hg (5.5 dex) . ... Hence it follows also that Y and Ce overabundance cannot exceed 2.5 dex. ...
