Scientific paper

This paper describes a long term, high-resolution study of the activity of the Perseid meteor stream based on visual and radar observations at the Onsala Space Observatory in Sweden. The data consists of 147 visual hourly rates and 1368 radar hourly rates. In a previous paper (Lindblad 2000) a high-resolution study of the visual zenithal hourly rates of bright Perseid meteors versus solar longitude was described. The study revealed that the Perseid activity curve has a multipeak structure. A preliminary analysis of 1368 mid-August radar hourly rates obtained in 1953-75 is presented. The activity curve of the Perseid meteor stream based on radar data indicates a similar multipeak structure of the Perseid meteor stream.
