We report a study of the inclusive production of rho and K* mesons in charged-current antineutrino interactions; the data were obtained by means of the Fermi Lab 15-foot bubble chamber with a heavy neon--hydrogen filling. It is shown that for an average value of the hadron invariant mass 4.3 GeV the average multiplicities of rho and K* mesons are = 0.13 +- 0.02 and = 0.049 +- 0.014, and their ratios to the average multiplicities of and K mesons are/ = 0.070 +- 0.015 and / = 0.26 +- 0.08. The properties of the rho-meson inclusive distributions are studied as functions of various kinematic variables. The results are compared with the data of other neutrino experiments and with the predictions of the LUND fragmentation model.
