[meteorite-list] Mbale TKW

[Prof. Zelimir Gabelica Université de Haute Alsace ENSCMu,]

Hello Linton,

Many thanks for the "Meteorite picture of the day" (Mbale).

Regarding the TKW (officially 850+@~150+ kg), here is a more recent update:

The TKW officially reported was recently re-evaluated (O. Popova, in:  
Proc. Meteoroids 2010”, Breckenridge, Co, July 2011, pp 232-254).
The paper reports, among others, that the progressive fragmentation  
model to the Mbale entry allowed estimation of fallen mass as 200-250  
kg in 100-3000 fragments (in dependence on assumed breakup model)  
covering a strewnfield of about 1 x 7-9 km.

Best wishes,

Zelimir
