| Abstract: | We carried out double station observations of the Leonid meteor shower outburst, which occurred in the morning hours of November
19, 2006. Using image-intensified cameras we recorded approximately 100 Leonid meteors. As predicted, the outburst was rich
especially in fainter meteors. The activity profile shows that the peak of the outburst occurred at 4:40 ± 0:05 UT. The maximum
reached flux was 0.03 meteoroids km−2 hod−1 for meteors brighter than +6.5 magnitude. |
