Small meteor particles are considered, which produce meteors with magnitudes between +3m and +10m to +12m, and for which the thermal conductivity may be assumed infinite. Fragmentation and air cap effects are neglected. The derivation is made taking into account radiation losses and temperature variation during the evaporation time. The temperature variation of the meteoroid is defined in this case by the equation:
