We utilize the meteor observations of the AMOS network obtained within a survey of medium-sized meteoroids supplemented by higher-resolution spectra observed on the Canary Islands. Ground-based meteor observations are then compared with high-resolution Echelle spectra of simulated ablation of known meteorite samples in a high-enthalpy plasma wind tunnel. It was found that most Na-enhanced and Na-rich spectra can be explained by the effect of low meteor speed related to low ablation temperatures and generally do not reflect real meteoroid composition. Spectra obtained by the laboratory experiment simulating low meteor speeds show corresponding Na-rich profiles irrespectively of the meteorite composition. We estimate that for an H-type ordinary chondrite with speed of \u224810 km s-1, the Na line intensity is increased by a factor of 40 to 95. The dynamical analysis has revealed that all Na-rich meteors originated on Apollo-type orbits and exhibit consistent chondritic material strengths. For more clarity in the classification of Na-enhanced and Na-rich meteoroids, we propose new speed-dependent boundaries between the spectral classes. Real compositional Na enhancement was confirmed in five cometary meteoroids: two Perseids, a \u03b1-Capricornid, v-Draconid and a sporadic. The two Na-enhanced Perseids were linked with increased material strength suggesting that the detected increase of volatile content has implications for the meteoroid structure.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pavol Matlovi\u010d, Juraj T\u00f3th, Leonard Korno\u0161, Stefan Loehle IcarusIn Press, Journal Pre-proof, Available online 22 April 2020 PDF (OPEN ACCESS) LINK &#8220;Highlights \u2022 The effect of speed dependency on the measured Na\/Mg intensity ratio in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[96],"tags":[98,3482,141],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21827"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21827"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21837,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21827\/revisions\/21837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
