Abstract

We present a model of entry of asteroids and comets into a planetary atmosphere based on a model proposed by Chyba et al. (1993). The equations of the model are resolved by numerical integration and were applied to simulate the Tunguska event. The model is used to study the entry of asteroids and comets into the atmospheres of Mars and Venus, and the results are compared with observations obtained by probes sent to these planets.
