High-sensitivity CCD video devices
are commonly employed to monitor meteor and fireball
activity. These systems provide useful data for the
determination, for instance, of radiant, orbital and
photometric parameters [1, 2, 3]. Accurate orbital data
are, for instance, of a paramount importance in order
to infer information about the likely parent body of a
given meteoroid stream [4]. Video spectroscopic techniques
provide also very valuable data about the
chemical nature of these particles of interplanetary
matter [3, 5]. With this aim, The SPanish Meteor Network
(SPMN) has systematically performed multiplestation
video observations of major and minor meteor
showers since 2006. In this work we analyze a doublestation
sporadic fireball imaged in the framework of
our continuous fireball monitoring and spectroscopic
campaigns in 2011.
