Scientific paper

After the last revision of the working list of visual meteor showers in 1995, an updated version is proposed to be used starting in 2007. The list is meant to provide a collection of showers which are both visually observable and scientifically interesting for meteor astronomy. Major changes are the introduction of an all-year Antihelion Source comprising a number of ecliptical meteor showers. Showers new to the list are the eta-Lyrids in May, and the October Leo Minorids. The former delta-Aurigids have been recognized as two individual sources, the September Perseids and the actual delta-Aurigids. A full listing of radiant motions in 5-day steps is also given.
