H\u03b1 line was previously detected in individual fireballs, but its variation in a larger meteor dataset and dependency on the dynamical origin and physical properties have not yet been studied. Here we investigate the relative intensity of H\u03b1 within 304 meteor spectra observed by the AMOS network. We demonstrate that H\u03b1 emission is favored in faster meteors (vi &gt; &gt; 30 km s\u22121) which form the high-temperature spectral component. H\u03b1 was found to be a characteristic spectral feature of cometary meteoroids with \u223c 92 per cent of all meteoroids with detected H originating from Halley-type and long-period orbits. Our results suggest that hydrogen is being depleted from meteoroids with lower perihelion distances (q &lt; 0.4 au). No asteroidal meteoroids with detected H emission were found. However, using spectral data from simulated ablation of different meteorite types, we show that H emission from asteroidal materials can occur, and apparently correlates with their water and organic matter content. Strongest H emission was detected from carbonaceous chondrites (CM and CV) and achondrites (ureilite and aubrite), while it was lacking in most ordinary chondrites. The detection of H\u03b1 in asteroidal meteoroids could be used to identify meteoroids of carbonaceous or achondritic composition. Overall, our results suggest that H\u03b1 emission correlates with the emission of other volatiles (Na and CN) and presents a suitable tracer of water and organic matter in meteoroids.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pavol Matlovi\u010d, Adriana Pisarc\u010d\u00edkov\u00e1, Juraj T\u00f3th, Pavel Mach, Peter \u010cerm\u00e1k, Stefan Loehle, Leonard Korno\u0161, Ludovic Ferri\u00e8re, Ji\u0159\u00ed \u0160ilha, David Leiser, Ranjith Ravichandran Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, stac927 LINK Update (2 May 2022):&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,9,18,14,96,576,39,81],"tags":[2089,192,98,141,3711,232],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30533"}],"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=30533"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30533\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30563,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30533\/revisions\/30563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmaka.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
