Example of simulated meteor of minimum absolute magnitude ℳ = +3.5 as seen by the Mini-EUSO telescope. The meteoroid had a pre-atmospheric mass of M_∞ = 0.02 g and entered the atmosphere at V_∞ = 66.6 km s⁻¹ with an inclination angle of γ = 39.6°. (a) Altitude from the ground as a function of time; (b) speed module; (c) absolute magnitude light curve, peaking at +3.5; (d) map of pixels on the PDM that were crossed by the signal of the meteor; (e) single-pixel light curves with the colour code of panel d; (f) total integrated light curve (black curve, inverse of Eq. 7 from panel c) compared to the actual counts recorded on the PDM (red curve), which are lower in the first part of the event because the apparent path of the meteor crossed the corner between four MAPMTs.
