Meteor Streams

Scientific paper

The Geminid meteoroid stream formation and evolution was studied by the method of nested polynomials. Besides other results the present work puts forward a new theory to explain the secondary maximum of the Geminid rate profile: branches of the stream have been formed due to differences in orbital parameters of particles ejected from the cometary nucleus before and after perihelion. A comparison of the model and observed rate profiles allowed to propose a hypothetical scenario of the comet disintegration: greater intensity of dust production before perihelion, significant change of the cometary orbit due to reactive forces and ejection of dust in the wide cone toward the Sun.
