Geminids: Orbit, Meteor Showers: Activity

Scientific paper

The activity of the Geminids meteor shower is studied on the basis of radio observations carried out by the Burdio meteor radar in 1986. The 1986 Geminids have displayed as a distinct meteor shower with an asymmetric curve of activity, the duration between the points of one-quarter strength being 6 days and the maximum at the solar longitude of about 260°75 (1950.0). The mean orbit and radiant ephemeris of the Geminids are derived on the basis of 191 precise photographic orbits available from the IAU Meteor Data Centre in Lund. Over a time span of 50 years, the semi-major axis, eccentricity and perihelion distance of the stream exhibit variations following the trend of the stream evolution suggested by Williams and Wu.
