Long-period comets have narrow one-revolution old dust trails that can cause meteor outbursts when encountered by Earth. To facilitate observing campaigns that will characterize and perhaps help find Earth-threatening, long-period comets from their trace of meteoric debris, we use past accounts of outbursts from 14 different showers to calculate the future dust trail positions near Earth’s orbit. We also examine known near-Earth, long-period comets and identify five potential new showers, which can be utilized to learn more about these objects. We demonstrate that it is the one-revolution trail that is responsible for meteor outbursts. A method that calculates in what year these showers are likely to return and at what hour is presented. The calculations improve on earlier approximate methods that used the Sun’s reflex motion to gauge the trail motion relative to Earth’s orbit. 相似文献

The presence of a diurnal variation in meteor activity is well established. The sporadic meteor count rates are higher on
the local dawn side and lower on the local dusk side. This phenomenon is caused by the Earth’s orbital motion and rotation.
Meteor radar measurements have been compared from Esrange, Kiruna, Sweden, at 68° N, from Juliusruh, Germany, at 55° N, and
from Ascension Island, at 8° S, to investigate how the diurnal variation depends on season at different latitudes. Data have
been used from vernal and autumnal equinoxes and summer and winter solstices to locate the largest seasonal differences. 相似文献

We have analyzed the meteor records in the chronicles of the east Asian countries, especially the Korean records. Our results
show that the seasonal variation of sporadic meteors has persisted at least for the last two millennia. We also observed the
prominent showers such as the Perseids and the Leonids, which are formed by Halley-type comets. We obtained the regression
rate of nodal points for the Leonids to be approximately 1.52± 0.04 days per century. 相似文献

The Third Peak of the 1998 Leonid Meteor Shower 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
1 INTRODUCTIONThe Leonid meteor shower is a well-known periodic meteor shower. Its history is tied upwith the development of the theory of meteor stream astronomy itself. It was the very st.rongshowers of 1799 and 1833 that played a sghficant pat in the recoghtion of the ealstence ofmeteoroid streams. These evellts started the obse~ions of Leoaid meteor shower and broughtabout the birth of meteoritiCS. It is known that the Leould parent comet, 55P/Tempel-TUttle,has an orbital period a… 相似文献

We have carried out multi-station TV observations since 1994 in order to determine the orbit of the Arietid daytime meteor
stream. In 1999, one possible Arietid meteor was recorded by our simultaneous observations and its orbit was determined. In
2003, two Arietid meteors were observed from two stations of our observing site, those orbits were determined precisely, the
orbital elements were in good agreement with each other. This is the first time that determination of the precise orbit of
the Arietids has been made from optical observations. The orbit of these Arietid meteors, and comparison with the orbit obtained
from radar observations are discussed. 相似文献

In our work, the method that can help to predict the existence of distant objects in the Solar system is demonstrated. This
method is connected with statistical properties of a heliocentric orbital complex of meteoroids with high eccentricities.
Heliocentric meteoroid orbits with high eccentricities are escape routes for dust material from distant parental objects with
near-circular orbits to Earth-crossing orbits. Ground-based meteor observations yield trajectory information from which we
can derive their place of possible origin: comets, asteroids, and other objects (e.g. Kuiper Objects) in the Solar system
or even interstellar space. Statistical distributions of radius vectors of nodes, and other parameters of orbits of meteoroids
contain key information about position of greater bodies. We analyze meteor orbits with high eccentricities that were registered
in 1975–1976 in Kharkiv (Ukraine). The orbital data of the Kharkiv electronic catalogue are received from observations of
radiometeors with masses 10−6−10−3 g. 相似文献

Recent progress on the interrelation between meteor streams and comets is reviewed both on dynamical and physical aspects.
The topics include the recent concept of the structure of meteor streams, resulted success of the prediction of the meteor
storms, and the recent observational situation on the cometary dust grains and meteoroids. Two possible explanations for the
origin of the meteoroids together with the implication for the relation between the birthplace of the parent comets and the
meteoroids are discussed. 相似文献

Astronomical and geological evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that mass extinctions of life on Earth are related
to impacts of comets whose flux is partly modulated by the dynamics of the Milky Way Galaxy. Geologic evidence for impact
(ejecta and large impact craters) has been found at times of mass extinction events, and the record of large dated craters
shows a significant correlation with extinctions. Statistical analyses suggest that mass extinction events exhibit a periodic
component of about 30 Myr, and periodicities of 30 ± 0.5 Myr and 35 ± 2 Myr have been extracted from sets of well-dated large
impact craters. These results suggest periodic or quasi-periodic showers of impactors, probably Oort Cloud comets, with an
approximately 30 or 36 Myr cycle. The best explanation for these proposed quasi-periodic comet showers involves the Sun's
vertical oscillation through the galactic disk, which may have a similar cycle time between crossings of the galactic plane.
Further refinement of the model will depend on the identification and quantification of the dark matter component in the galactic
disk, and discovery and accurate dating of additional impact craters.

First results are presented from a newly developed meteoroid orbit survey, called CAMS – Cameras for Allsky Meteor Surveillance, which combines meteor detection algorithms for low-light video observations with traditional video surveillance tools. Sixty video cameras at three stations monitor the sky above 31° elevation. Goal of CAMS is to verify meteor showers in search of their parent comets among newly discovered near-Earth objects.This paper outlines the concept of operations, the hardware, and software methods used during operation and in the data reduction pipeline, and accompanies the data release of the first batch of meteoroid orbits. During the month of November 2010, 2169 precisely reduced meteoroid trajectories from 17 nights have an error in the apparent radiant of the trajectory <2° and error in speed <10%. Median values of the error are 0.31° and 0.53 km/s, respectively, sufficient to resolve the intrinsic dispersion of annual meteor showers and resolve minor showers from the sporadic background. The limiting visual magnitude of the cameras is +5.4, recording meteors of +4 magnitude and brighter, bright enough to stand out from the mostly fainter sporadic meteors detected as under dense radar echoes.CAMS readily detected all established showers (6) active during the clear nights in November. Of the showers that needed confirmation, we confirm the theta Aurigids (THA, IAU#390), the chi Taurids (CTA, IAU#388), and the omicron Eridanids (OER, IAU#338). We conclude that the iota November Aurigids (IAR, IAU#248) are in fact the combined activity of the theta Aurigids and chi Taurids, and this shower should be dismissed from the list. Finally, there is also a clustering consistent with the zeta Cancrids (ZCN, IAU#243), but we cannot exclude that this is lower perihelion dust belonging to the Orionid shower.Data are submitted to the IAU Meteor Data Center on a semi-regular basis, and can be accessed also at http://cams.seti.org. 相似文献

During the first international joint observation of the Leo strong meteor shower, multidisciplinary and multi-media synthetic observation of Leo and Draco strong meteor showers and their catastrophic space weather events were carried out. The comprehensive analysis of the observed and related data of the Leo, Perseus and Draco strong meteor showers obtained for near half a century (from 1957 to 2003) fully verifies that the non-sporadic periodic strong meteor shower may lead to catastrophic space weather events. Preliminary identification is made of the following: the mechanism of formation of strong meteor showers, the law of occurrence of the fbEs abnormal peak and serious safety hazards for astronavigation. Also discussed in this paper are the evolutionary process of cometary dust, the law of occurrence and loss of cosmic dust storm and the mechanism of maintaining cosmic dust in the mid-latitude Es layer. 相似文献
