[meteorite-list] How much survives entry?

[Richard Kowalski]

A quick search of ADS, which i probably should have done in the first place, reveals only two papers on this and this one:

DEPTH DEPENDENCE OF 22Ne/21Ne IN ORDINARY CHONDRITES AND
ABLATION OF METEORITES V.A. Alexeev, Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and
Analytical Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, 117975, Moscow, Russia
(aval at icp.ac.ru)

may be of interest to others.

Not a direct ablation experiment, but it is interesting to see most of their calculations show anywhere from 14% to 99%+ ablation for various samples, with the majority in the 90s.
