The Cali Meteorite: Luminescence of a recently fallen H/L ordinary chondrite
by Trigo-Rodriguez, J. M.; Llorca, J.; Sears, D. W. G.
The Cali meteorite fall occurred on 6 July 2007 at 21h33m±1m UTC. Some specimens were recovered just after their fall so they are extremely fresh materials. Mineral anal. and bulk chem. revealed that the measured abundances for most elements closely match the values recorded for other ordinary chondrites classified as H/L. We present here thermoluminescence studies of this recently fallen meteorite in order to get addnl. information on the radiation environment, and the thermal history of this meteorite. Such information is revealed to be complementary with the range of orbital elements deduced from eyewitness reports of the fireball.
